Has Convex Finance bottomed?

A confirmed swing low is evidence of a price pattern, not proof of a final market bottom. Here is what the CVX snapshot records on 2026-10-21 UTC:

Monthly: the last confirmed swing low is $1.04 from 2026-07-31. The current candidate is marked confirmed. The latest monthly bar is still forming.

Weekly: the last confirmed swing low is $1.76 from 2026-10-18. The current candidate is marked confirmed. The latest weekly bar is still forming.

Daily: the last confirmed swing low is $1.87 from 2026-10-17. The current candidate is marked confirmed.

How bottom confirmation works. Cycle-low confidence is a heuristic score, not a calibrated probability of a profitable trade.
