The rebound came after the token found support in the $0.074 to $0.075 range, where buyers stepped in following several days of selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the latest move has improved short-term market sentiment, Pi Network is still down roughly 9% over the past week. The token also remains close to its record-low region, meaning the current recovery has not yet confirmed a broader bullish reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pi Network Recovers From Oversold Levels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pi Network\u2019s recent decline pushed its daily Relative Strength Index to around 27, indicating that the token had entered deeply oversold territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An RSI reading below 30 usually suggests that selling pressure may have become excessive. This can sometimes attract short-term buyers looking for a possible rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is exactly what happened with PI. After reaching the $0.074 support area, the token recovered by around 10% from its local low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rebound helped Pi Network\u2019s market capitalization return to approximately $907 million. Its 24-hour trading volume stood near $11 million, showing renewed interest but still relatively limited market activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the improvement, PI remains in a much larger downward trend. The token has fallen sharply from its April high near $0.20 and is approximately 97% below its February 2025 all-time high of $2.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For that reason, the current move still looks more like a relief rally than the beginning of a confirmed long-term recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protocol 26 Upgrade Drives Fresh Demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The immediate catalyst behind the Pi Network price increase was an announcement from the Pi Core Team regarding the Protocol 26 upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mainnet node operators have been instructed to complete the upgrade by August 11. Nodes that fail to migrate to the latest version may lose their connection to the Pi Mainnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Pi Network\u2019s official node information, all Mainnet nodes must move to version 26 before the deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protocol 26 is the ninth upgrade in the network\u2019s current migration process. The project expects Protocol 27 to complete the planned upgrade series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pi Core Team said the final upgrades would bring the network in line with the latest protocol features, improvements and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement gave investors a clear project-related reason to return to PI. It also increased confidence that Pi Network continues to make progress on its technical roadmap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The broader upgrade programme is connected to the project\u2019s plans for greater decentralization, open-source node infrastructure and expanded network functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Token Unlocks Could Limit the Rally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Protocol 26 upgrade has supported demand, Pi Network still faces significant supply pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around 128 million PI tokens are reportedly scheduled to unlock during August. At current prices, those tokens would be worth more than $10 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Token unlocks increase the amount of an asset available in the market. When recipients sell newly released tokens, the additional supply can place downward pressure on the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effect will depend on whether market demand is strong enough to absorb the unlocked PI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If trading volume remains weak, the incoming supply could slow the recovery or push the token back toward its recent lows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PI Breaks Out of a Descending Channel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four-hour chart shows that Pi Network has moved above a descending parallel channel that had controlled its price action since July 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A descending channel forms when a cryptocurrency records a series of lower highs and lower lows. Breaking above the upper boundary can signal that short-term selling pressure is beginning to weaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PI\u2019s breakout represents an early improvement in market structure, but buyers still need to hold the price above key resistance levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four-hour RSI climbed to approximately 57.32, moving above both its RSI moving average of 46.73 and the neutral 50 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This suggests that buyers have regained short-term control without pushing the token into overbought territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Momentum has improved, but the breakout still requires confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pi Network Faces Resistance Near $0.085<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $0.085 level is currently the most important short-term resistance area for Pi Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PI briefly approached this level during the latest rally but failed to establish firm support above it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The token is also testing its four-hour Supertrend resistance near $0.0828. A sustained close above this indicator, followed by a breakout over $0.085, would strengthen the bullish outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If buyers successfully clear $0.085, the next psychological resistance level may appear near $0.090.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond that, the daily Fibonacci chart identifies a major resistance area at approximately $0.09796. This level sits close to the psychologically important $0.10 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A move above the $0.098 to $0.10 region would provide stronger evidence that Pi Network is beginning a more sustainable recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until that happens, the current rally remains vulnerable to renewed selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Indicators Show Early Stabilization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several technical indicators suggest that Pi Network\u2019s momentum is beginning to stabilize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence histogram has turned slightly positive. This indicates that bearish momentum may be weakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, both MACD lines remain below the zero level, meaning the wider trend has not yet turned bullish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Stochastic RSI readings have risen to approximately 67.78 and 61.76. These figures show improving momentum while remaining below the traditional overbought zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, the indicators suggest that PI is recovering from oversold conditions, but they do not yet confirm a complete trend reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buyers will need to maintain higher prices and stronger trading volume before the market structure becomes convincingly bullish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Support Levels for PI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $0.080 level is an important short-term support area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Pi Network loses this level, confidence in the recent breakout could weaken. The price may then return toward the four-hour Supertrend support near $0.0759.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $0.074 to $0.075 range remains the main demand zone that supported the latest rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A decisive move below $0.074 could expose PI to another decline toward its all-time-low region near $0.0702.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holding above $0.080 would give buyers a better opportunity to challenge the $0.085 resistance level again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Double-Top Pattern Creates Short-Term Risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crypto analyst Gopal identified a possible double-top pattern on Pi Network\u2019s one-minute chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A double top can form when an asset tests the same resistance level twice but fails to break above it. The pattern may indicate that buyers are losing momentum while sellers continue defending the price ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The neckline of the short-term formation sits near $0.082.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A confirmed break below that level could push PI toward approximately $0.0814.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, signals on a one-minute chart are generally less reliable than patterns seen on four-hour or daily timeframes. Short-term charts can be heavily influenced by temporary volatility and low trading volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A move above the recent intraday peaks near $0.083, supported by stronger volume, would invalidate the bearish pattern and allow buyers to challenge $0.085 again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protocol 26 Execution Will Be Closely Watched<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The August 11 upgrade deadline will remain an important event for Pi Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A smooth migration to Protocol 26 could strengthen confidence in the project\u2019s development progress. It may also support the argument that the network is moving toward greater stability, decentralization and technical functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, technical upgrades do not automatically create sustained token demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the rally to continue, Pi Network will need stronger trading activity, successful node migration and enough demand to absorb the tokens scheduled to unlock in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors will also be watching whether the project completes the final Protocol 27 upgrade as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any delay, technical problem or low participation among node operators could weaken market sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Broader Market Conditions Remain Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pi Network\u2019s latest move appears to be driven mainly by project-specific developments rather than large institutional flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, PI does not currently benefit from the same level of institutional investment, exchange-traded products or market liquidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes its price more sensitive to announcements, token unlocks, community sentiment and technical developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broader risk appetite also remains limited after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When interest rates remain elevated, investors may be less willing to allocate capital to speculative cryptocurrencies. This could make it difficult for PI to maintain its recovery without strong project-related demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pi Network Price Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The short-term outlook for Pi Network has improved following the breakout from the descending channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Momentum indicators are recovering, and the Protocol 26 deadline has given buyers a fresh reason to enter the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the price must establish support above $0.085 before the breakout becomes more convincing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A successful move above $0.085 could open the way toward $0.090, followed by the larger resistance region between $0.098 and $0.10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the downside, losing $0.080 could return PI to the $0.075 support area. A break below $0.074 would increase the possibility of another test of the record-low region near $0.0702.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upcoming token unlocks and the August 11 node-upgrade deadline are likely to play an important role in PI\u2019s next major move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pi Network\u2019s 7% price increase shows that investors are responding positively to the Protocol 26 upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The token has recovered from oversold conditions and broken above a short-term descending channel. Technical momentum has also improved, giving buyers greater control than they had earlier in the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, the wider trend remains weak. PI is trading far below its previous highs, and the expected release of 128 million tokens could create additional selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the recovery to develop into a lasting reversal, Pi Network must hold above $0.080, break through $0.085 and eventually reclaim the $0.098 to $0.10 resistance zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until then, the latest rise should be viewed as an encouraging short-term rebound rather than confirmation of a new long-term uptrend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Disclaimer: This article is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pi Network recorded a sharp recovery on July 30, with its price climbing nearly 7% as investors reacted to the upcoming Protocol 26 upgrade deadline.
