What happened to Waves
Waves reached $61.3 4 years ago. It now trades at $0.2199 — a decline of 99.6% from that peak. $1,000 bought at the high would be worth $3.59 today.
Returning to the previous high from here would take a gain of 279x. That figure is arithmetic, not a forecast: it is simply the peak divided by the current price.
One limitation is worth stating plainly. Coingraph holds 2 years of daily prices for WAVES, and the all-time high falls before that window opens. The peak above is the figure reported by the market data provider; the chart on this page cannot show it. Within the 2 years held, the range runs from $0.1855 to $2.51.
How WAVES is rated
Waves scores 2 out of 100, which places it in the Dormant band — the inputs show sustained decline with little trading activity behind it. A higher score means a healthier reading. The score starts at 100 and each measured factor deducts from it.
The deductions for WAVES are: price decline, 50 points (down 99.6% from its all-time high of $61.3); volume decay, 25 points (trading volume is 99% below its busiest sustained stretch); market cap erosion, 14 points (market cap down 90% from $220.01M); time below peak, 10 points (1,607 days since the peak).
Is WAVES moving on its own?
From its lowest close in the 2 years held — $0.1855 — WAVES has gained 18.6%, a 1.2x move off that floor. Coingraph reads this as still falling.
Over the last 30 days WAVES moved -11.6% against the wider market's +22.9% — moving behind the wider market. This distinction matters more than the headline number: a coin rising only when everything rises is being carried, and that is a different situation from one climbing on its own demand.
WAVES market position
WAVES has a market capitalisation of $21.99M, ranking 777 by size, on 24-hour trading volume of $1.92M.
Daily turnover — volume as a share of market cap — is 8.7%. Turnover is what tells you whether a price is real: a coin can hold a large nominal valuation while almost nothing changes hands, and a price set by very few trades is one that moves sharply when anyone sizeable arrives.
Annualised volatility from daily returns is 100%. Coingraph rates overall risk Elevated on these inputs.
