The blurred area is the rest of the history. 177 further data points reach back to Aug 1, 2013 — your plan shows the last 90 days of it. How far each series in particular reaches is written on its own chart; not every one of them goes back that far. The shape in the blurred area is decoration, not data: the figures are not in this page at all. Plus unlocks the complete series.

Lowest price in the visible window: $0.00 on Jul 31, 2026. That is the current price.
