Manuel Pellegrini's champions have slipped seven points behind Chelsea in the title race after starting the year level with their rivals.
Aguero is remaining calm and pointed to their Premier League successes in 2012 and 2014 when they came from behind to beat Manchester United and Liverpool respectively.
"Why not?" said the City striker. "We were worse off in past seasons but we still won and I was always convinced we'd be champions.
"There is a long way to go and a lot of games to play so anything is possible."
Aguero insists it is "anyone's title" and rejects talk that it is a two-horse race between City and Chelsea.
"Right now, it's anyone's title and it's not just two sides competing - there are many teams that are still in the hunt," said the Argentinian.
"Arsenal and United are back on their feet, Southampton are not far behind and Liverpool and Spurs have all shown good form, too.

"I believe this will be one of the most highly-contested Premier Leagues of recent years and we will be giving everything to retain our title."
Aguero had to watch on over Christmas and the New Year when he hurt his knee and City also lost fellow strikers Stevan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko.
Aguero is back to his best after scoring twice at Stoke last time out and says new £25million striker Wilfried Bony is a great addition to the squad. —Mirror
