Pi Network (PI) Rises 25% in a Week But Warning Signs Point to Another Possible Pullback

“Won’t catch me buying into any relief rally,” one popular analyst said.

Pi Network’s PI has emerged as one of the strongest performers in the top-100 crypto ranking over the past week, outpacing countless major digital assets.

However, this rally may prove short-lived and could be followed by another sharp pullback in the near future.

PI Flashes Green

In mid-July, the native token of the controversial crypto project tumbled to a new all-time low of around $0.07, while its market capitalization slipped well below the $1 billion psychological level.

Since then, though, the bulls have stepped in, and now PI trades at around $0.093 (per CoinGecko), representing a roughly 25% increase on a weekly basis.

The exact catalyst of the resurgence remains unclear since Pi Network’s team has been rather silent over the past few days and has not unveiled any new ecosystem updates. Of course, one potential factor could be the overall revival of the crypto market, where Bitcoin (BTC) crossed $66,000, while Ethereum (ETH) aims to reach $2,000.

Many analysts are now optimistic that PI can post further gains. X user Crypto With Gopal claimed that the asset is printing a “Falling Wedge” after a prolonged downtrend where selling pressure is fading, and the price is “squeezing toward the wedge apex.” They believe this formation often signals that momentum is shifting back to the bulls.

“Buyers are quietly defending support while lower highs continue to compress. A strong breakout above the wedge resistance could spark a sharp relief rally as sidelined buyers step in. If bulls reclaim the trendline with volume, PI could be setting up for a major expansion move. Market sentiment is cautiously turning bullish,” they added.

Prior to that, OxNeena argued that after months of selling pressure, PI has finally shown signs of accumulation. They believe that if buyers step in, this could mark the beginning of a strong trend reversal, with $0.20 and $0.32 set as potential upside targets.

Brace for Potential Drop

PI investors should remain cautious, as previous pumps like this have often been abruptly ended by another major move downward. The prolonged bear market and the concerning condition of the entire crypto sector reinforce those fears.

Meanwhile, the PI community must take other factors into account, including the upcoming token unlocks. Around 127.5 million coins are set for release in the next 30 days: a development that doesn’t guarantee a price drop but increases selling pressure.

X user Travladd told their nearly 500,000 followers on X that PI is “looking cooked,” noting that there is too much supply. “Won’t catch me buying into any relief rally,” they added.
