Pi Network (PI) Price: Token Reaches $1.25 After 17.5% Daily Gain

Pi Network’s token has made impressive gains over the past week, showing strong recovery potential after struggling through April. The cryptocurrency has maintained position above the crucial $1.00 support level, catching the attention of investors across the market.

On May 14, 2025, PI reached $1.25, representing a 17.5% increase in just 24 hours. This puts the value at approximately 20,715 Indonesian Rupiah based on current exchange rates.

The daily trading range has been between $1.02 and $1.32, showing some volatility but overall upward momentum.

PI currently has a market capitalization of around $8.9 billion, while the fully diluted valuation stands at nearly $13.7 billion. The circulating supply is approximately 7.1 billion PI out of a total supply of 10.9 billion, with the maximum supply capped at 100 billion.

Technical Indicators Show Mixed Signals

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Pi Network has pushed beyond the 70.0 threshold, placing the asset in overbought territory. This typically suggests the bullish momentum may be approaching saturation.

Historically, overbought conditions often lead to market corrections as investors take profits. However, assets can sometimes remain in this zone for extended periods without declining significantly.

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator remains above the zero line, signaling continued strong inflow of funds. Despite a recent dip, this positive CMF reading reinforces the view that PI’s bullish trend might continue if overall market conditions remain favorable.

According to a report from BeInCrypto on May 13, PI was trading at $1.09, marking an 86% increase over seven days with strong support at the psychologically important $1.00 level.

Analysts suggest that if PI maintains position above this support, it could target $1.34 or even $1.64, assuming the bullish momentum persists in the coming days.

The downside scenario involves potential selling pressure pushing PI below $1.00, which could lead to further drops to $0.87 or $0.78, invalidating the bullish outlook.

Exchange Holdings Raise Questions

Centralized exchanges now hold over 287 million PI coins, according to data shared by Pi News. Bitget leads with 100.6 million PI, followed by OKX with 33.2 million.

These substantial exchange balances have raised questions about liquidity management and selling risks, especially with the anticipated announcement on May 14.

The large volume of tokens on exchanges could potentially impact price action if market makers decide to move significant amounts around the time of the announcement.

Pi Network’s recent price behavior on May 13 showed signs of speculative positioning, with traders likely buying in anticipation of the news. The daily candle featured a small body with long wicks, typical of pre-announcement market conditions.

After reaching a two-month high of $1.67 on May 12, PI experienced a sharp 40% drop to a daily low near $0.996 on May 13, highlighting the current market volatility.

May 14 Announcement Creates Buzz

The Pi Core Team has teased a major “ecosystem announcement” scheduled for May 14, 2025, during the Consensus conference in Toronto.

Speculation about the announcement ranges from an official Open Mainnet launch to potential strategic partnerships with technology firms or payment networks. Some community members have suggested possible integrations with Google Cloud or Visa, while others point to renewed Binance listing rumors.

While the announcement has generated interest, market response remains cautious. Many users still face restricted access to their tokens due to incomplete migrations and unresolved KYC issues, which has tempered optimism despite the growing hype.

The price action continues to show volatility as traders position themselves ahead of this potentially significant development for the Pi Network ecosystem.
