Trading activity also increased sharply, suggesting that investors were paying closer attention to the token\u2019s improving short-term structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the recovery has not yet produced a confirmed breakout. PI must first overcome resistance between $0.095 and $0.102 before traders can consider the double-bottom pattern complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pi Network Price Extends Its Weekly Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pi Network traded near $0.093 after reaching an intraday high of approximately $0.096.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The token recovered from its July all-time low near $0.071 and gained around 12% during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trading volume rose alongside the price. CoinGecko data showed approximately $14.3 million in activity over 24 hours, representing an increase of about 88% from the previous day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PI\u2019s market capitalization also climbed above $1 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increase in both price and trading volume suggests that the recovery attracted more market participation rather than developing during a period of extremely limited activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PI Breaks Above a Descending Channel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daily chart showed Pi Network price moving above the upper boundary of a descending channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That bearish channel had controlled the market since late April, when PI traded near $0.20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A descending channel forms when an asset repeatedly produces lower highs and lower lows between two downward-sloping trendlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breaking above the channel can indicate that selling pressure is weakening. However, the move must hold above former resistance before it can be treated as a reliable trend change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For PI, the important former channel resistance sits between approximately $0.088 and $0.090.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A daily close above this zone would strengthen the bullish setup. Falling back below it could turn the breakout into another short-lived recovery within the wider downtrend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Long-Term Trend Remains Weak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the latest weekly gain, PI remains more than 96% below its February 2025 record high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means the recent rally has improved the short-term outlook but has not reversed the token\u2019s broader bearish structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A meaningful long-term recovery would require PI to reclaim several higher resistance levels and begin producing a consistent pattern of higher highs and higher lows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until that happens, the current movement should be viewed as an early recovery attempt rather than confirmation of a new long-term bull market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Double Bottom Develops on the Four-Hour Chart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four-hour chart shows PI forming a potential double-bottom pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first low developed around July 14, while the second appeared near July 28. Buyers defended the region between approximately $0.072 and $0.075 during both declines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A double bottom resembles the letter \u201cW\u201d and can signal that sellers have failed twice to push an asset below the same support area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pattern becomes valid only when the price breaks and closes above the resistance level between the two lows, known as the neckline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Pi Network, the neckline sits near $0.102.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because PI was still trading around $0.093, the pattern remained incomplete at the time of the analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Confirmed Breakout Could Target $0.132<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A decisive close above $0.102 could confirm the double-bottom pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The estimated depth of the formation is approximately $0.030. Adding that distance to the $0.102 neckline produces a measured target near $0.132.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That target would represent an increase of roughly 42% from the price recorded during the analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $0.132 region also matches an earlier consolidation area that served as support in June before PI\u2019s decline accelerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, measured targets are technical projections rather than guarantees. PI would still need sufficient demand and trading volume to move through several resistance levels before reaching that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bulls Must First Clear $0.095<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before PI can challenge the main neckline, buyers must overcome immediate resistance between $0.094 and $0.096.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The token briefly approached this area during the session but had not yet established a sustained breakout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Market analyst Crypto With Gopal also identified a smaller falling-wedge pattern on the intraday chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the analyst, a move above approximately $0.094 to $0.095 could open the way toward $0.098 and $0.10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The psychologically important $0.10 level could attract additional selling because traders often place orders around major round-number prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if PI moves above $0.10, it must still close beyond $0.102 to confirm the larger double-bottom setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trading Volume Will Be Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A breakout supported by expanding volume would carry more significance than a brief move above resistance during weak trading activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Higher volume can indicate that a larger number of buyers are participating and that the movement has stronger market support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If PI breaks above $0.102 with rising volume, traders may begin focusing on intermediate resistance near $0.115 before the measured target at $0.132.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A low-volume breakout would be more vulnerable to failure and could pull the token back below the neckline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aroon Indicator Supports the Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several technical indicators showed improving momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daily Aroon Up reading reached 100%, compared with an Aroon Down reading of approximately 35.71%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aroon indicator measures how recently an asset has recorded a new high or low within a specific period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A high Aroon Up reading indicates that recent highs are forming frequently. A lower Aroon Down reading suggests that new lows are appearing less often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference between the two indicators supports the view that buyers have gained short-term control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the signal does not guarantee that PI will break through the resistance zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capital Flow Turns Positive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pi Network\u2019s Chaikin Money Flow indicator moved above zero to approximately 0.07.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A positive CMF reading generally suggests that buying pressure is beginning to exceed selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an encouraging development because it shows that money flow has improved alongside the price recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a reading of 0.07 remains relatively modest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It signals improving accumulation but does not indicate overwhelming buying demand. Stronger and more sustained positive readings would provide greater confidence in the breakout attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supertrend Flips Bullish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four-hour Supertrend indicator also turned bullish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The indicator placed dynamic support near $0.086, while the previous bearish threshold remained around $0.083.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supertrend uses price volatility to identify potential changes in market direction and provide dynamic support or resistance levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As long as PI stays above the bullish Supertrend line, the short-term recovery structure remains intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fall below $0.086 could weaken momentum and bring the $0.082 to $0.083 support region back into focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stochastic RSI Warns of Overheating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although several indicators support buyers, the four-hour Stochastic RSI moved into overbought territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its two lines stood near 82 and 87.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An overbought reading does not automatically mean that PI must decline. Strong rallies can remain overbought for extended periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the elevated reading increases the chance of a short-term pullback, sideways consolidation or reduced momentum before another breakout attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A temporary retreat toward $0.090 would not necessarily invalidate the bullish setup if buyers successfully defend that level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Support Levels for Pi Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first important support sits near $0.090.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This area is close to the former upper boundary of the descending channel and may now act as support following the breakout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If PI falls below $0.090, the next level to watch is the four-hour Supertrend support near $0.086.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further weakness could bring the $0.082 to $0.083 region into focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The double-bottom structure would remain broadly valid as long as the token stays above the two July lows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A confirmed breakdown below $0.075 would invalidate the pattern and suggest that sellers had regained control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protocol 26 Deadline Supports Market Interest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price recovery comes as Pi Network continues deploying Protocol 26 across its Mainnet infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the project\u2019s official node information, all Mainnet operators must upgrade their software to version 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Node operators face an Aug. 11 deadline to complete the transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protocol 26 is therefore already being rolled out rather than waiting for an initial release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The approaching deadline may be supporting investor interest because network upgrades can attract attention to a cryptocurrency\u2019s technical development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the upgrade also creates execution risks if a significant number of node operators fail to complete the transition on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Protocol 26 Could Mean for Pi Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Network protocol upgrades generally introduce technical improvements, compatibility changes or new infrastructure requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Pi Network, successful deployment could demonstrate that the project can coordinate upgrades across its node ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A smooth transition may improve confidence among users and developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technical difficulties, delays or node disruptions could weaken sentiment, particularly if the upgrade affects network performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price impact will ultimately depend on whether Protocol 26 produces meaningful improvements and encourages greater use of the Pi ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Launchpad Test Attracts Over 242,000 Participants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pi Network recently completed its second Launchpad test involving the SLICE test token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project said more than 242,000 participants committed approximately 15.92 million Test-Pi between June 11 and June 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants competed to acquire 10 million SLICE tokens during the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experiment focused on Launchpad allocations, automated token pricing and liquidity-pool mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The high participation figure shows interest in Pi Network\u2019s developing ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the assets involved were testnet tokens and did not represent real purchases of PI on the spot market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Launchpad Test Does Not Confirm PI Demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Launchpad trial should not be treated as direct evidence that investors are buying the main PI token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Test-Pi does not carry the same market value as PI traded on cryptocurrency exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event was designed to examine technical functions and user participation rather than generate real investment demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trial may still be valuable for the ecosystem because it allows Pi Network to identify technical problems before introducing similar products on Mainnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its effect on PI\u2019s price will depend on whether the project eventually launches useful applications that create real demand for the token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RoboPay Partnership Adds to Positive Sentiment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fabric Foundation also announced that Pi Network had joined RoboPay as a payment partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The planned integration is intended to allow PI holders to pay for robot-related services across the Fabric network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement gives Pi Network another potential real-world use case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporters may view the partnership as evidence that the project is attempting to expand beyond peer-to-peer transfers and speculative trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the implementation timeline and future transaction volume remain unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until the service launches and attracts real users, its impact on demand for PI cannot be confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ecosystem Announcements Still Need Adoption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partnerships and protocol upgrades can improve market sentiment, but they do not automatically create sustainable token demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For PI to establish a stronger long-term value proposition, users must actively use the token for payments, applications, fees or other services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The network will also need developers, merchants and infrastructure providers to build products that attract continued activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without measurable adoption, positive announcements may create only temporary price rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors will therefore watch whether Protocol 26, Launchpad development and RoboPay lead to meaningful onchain usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can PI Price Break Above $0.10?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PI\u2019s immediate outlook depends on whether buyers can maintain the breakout above the descending channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sustained move through $0.095 could expose resistance near $0.098 and then the psychological $0.10 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decisive technical barrier remains $0.102.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A close above that neckline, especially with rising volume, would confirm the double-bottom pattern and bring $0.115 and $0.132 into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rejection between $0.095 and $0.102 could send the token back toward $0.090.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that support fails, PI may test $0.086 and the lower $0.082 to $0.083 region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Token Unlocks Remain a Risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Future token supply growth remains an important risk for Pi Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When additional tokens enter circulation, existing demand must increase enough to absorb the new supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If demand remains weak while token unlocks continue, the added supply can create selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This may make it more difficult for PI to sustain a breakout even when technical indicators improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors should therefore consider both chart patterns and changes in circulating supply when evaluating the token\u2019s outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limited Exchange Access May Increase Volatility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PI remains less widely available than larger cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CoinGecko lists exchanges including OKX, Gate and Bitget among its main trading venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access may vary depending on the trader\u2019s country and local regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limited availability can reduce liquidity and make price discovery more dependent on a small number of offshore exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That can result in greater volatility, wider price differences between platforms and sharper reactions to changes in trading activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PI Approaches a Critical Breakout Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pi Network has built its strongest short-term recovery since falling to a record low in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The token has broken above a descending channel, trading volume has increased and several momentum indicators now favor buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The developing double bottom provides a potentially bullish structure, but it remains unconfirmed while PI trades below the $0.102 neckline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A breakout above that level with strong volume could expose $0.115 and the measured target near $0.132.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Failure to overcome resistance between $0.095 and $0.102 could lead to another pullback toward $0.090 or $0.086.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protocol 26 and the RoboPay partnership have improved sentiment, but Pi Network still needs stronger adoption and sustained market demand to support a lasting recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pi Network price moved toward $0.093 on Aug. 6 as buyers attempted to confirm a
