Your alt just pumped 40%, and it may still need to 6x just to get back to its old high.

That is the math nobody posts during a green week.

A coin that falls 85% does not need an 85% rally to recover. It needs about 567%.

Here is what every name from this week's bounce needs to reclaim its all time high.

$TAO 2.2x
$SOL 2.4x
$LINK 3.7x
$ONDO 3.9x
$NEAR 4.2x
$SUI 4.5x
$INJ 6.7x
$RENDER 6.8x
$QUBIC 8x or more
$AVAX 13x
$FET 14x
$ICP 34x, or 210x from its $700 launch week print

Every name except TAO and SOL is still 70% or more below its peak.

Two things stand out.

The leaders are the closest. TAO and SOL need less than 2.5x, which is part of why the market keeps treating them as leaders.

The deepest holes belong to names that peaked on old narratives.

AVAX and ICP topped in 2021 and have spent nearly five years far below those highs.

A new cycle does not automatically bring old leaders back.

So before you celebrate a bounce, ask one question.

Is this coin recovering, or just bouncing inside a much bigger drawdown?

The coins closest to their highs already have the market's trust.

The ones furthest away need a new story, not a green week.
