- The Pi Network is facing bearish pressure due to weak technical indicators, declining investor confidence, and the upcoming unlock of 119 million tokens, which is expected to increase selling pressure.
- Community frustration over centralization and lack of transparency is further adding to the negative sentiment, raising concerns about the token’s short-term stability.
The Pi Network is under pressure once again, as bearish signals and a massive token unlock loom over its short-term prospects. After surging earlier this year, the token has now lost over 79% of its value since its February peak of $2.98, currently trading near $0.6027. The big question now is: can Pi recover—or are we about to witness another sharp drop?
Why Is Pi Struggling?
Although Pi has posted a modest daily gain of 1.62% and an 8.95% increase over the past week, the broader 30-day trend paints a much bleaker picture—a 63.12% decline. Technical indicators support the bearish narrative. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 62.77, hovering dangerously close to the overbought zone, often a sign that a correction may be near. Furthermore, a divergence between the RSI and its moving average suggests that any current uptrend lacks strength and sustainability.
Adding to the concern, the Average Directional Index (ADX) stands at just 26.49, signaling weak trend strength. There’s also a clear pattern of lower highs, which implies that sellers are slowly overpowering buyers, and enthusiasm in the market is waning.
The Unlocking Threat: 119 Million Tokens Incoming
One of the biggest red flags for Pi’s immediate future is the scheduled unlocking of 119 million tokens throughout April. A staggering 1.4 million tokens have already been unlocked, and the number is set to rise dramatically, peaking at over 9.7 million unlocked on April 18. This influx is expected to flood the market with additional selling pressure, just when confidence in the project is already shaky.
Growing Community Frustration
Beyond the technicals, sentiment within the Pi community appears to be deteriorating. Pi Network Turkey recently criticized the core team for its lack of transparency and increasing centralization, accusing developers of adopting a top-down approach and sidelining the community. In a crypto landscape that thrives on decentralization and transparency, such frustrations could have long-term repercussions for Pi’s credibility and adoption.
Can Pi Hold the Line?
If Pi fails to hold the $0.6250 resistance level, a fall to $0.58 seems likely—and if that support breaks, the token may test the $0.55 level or even dip below the psychological $0.50 mark.
Investors and supporters of the Pi Network should keep a close eye on April 18. It might be the deciding moment that shapes the next chapter in Pi’s volatile journey.
