Pi Network’s PI token has bounced sharply from this week’s low, rising to $0.1870, a gain of 23% from its weakest level in recent days. At that price, its market capitalization moved back above $1.5 billion, while daily trading volume reached about $16 million, higher than its recent average.
Recovery tracked the broader crypto market
The move came as the wider market stabilized. Bitcoin climbed back to $90,000, and the total cryptocurrency market capitalization recovered to $3 trillion. PI’s price action largely mirrored that rebound, with part of this week’s earlier losses erased in a short period.
The article also linked the rally to comments from U.S. President Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos. According to the report, Trump ruled out using force in Greenland during his speech, and in a separate statement said the U.S. had reached a deal regarding the semi-autonomous territory. PI advanced during that stretch.
Developer payment update added support
Another catalyst came from Pi Network’s latest product update. The developers introduced a new library that combines the Pi SDK with backend APIs, allowing application builders to integrate Pi payments within minutes. For a project still trying to expand usage inside its own ecosystem, a release like this can help sentiment in the short term. Whether that support lasts is a different question.
Unlock schedule and exchange access remain pressure points
The rebound does not remove the bigger fundamental issues. The report said Pi’s ecosystem remains less active than networks such as Ethereum and Solana. It also faces continuing token supply pressure, with more than 1.2 billion tokens expected to come online over the next 12 months.
Exchange access is another obstacle. Since the launch of its mainnet, PI has not secured a listing from any tier-1 exchange, leaving the token unavailable to a large pool of potential users. The report also described Pi as one of the more centralized cryptocurrencies in the sector, noting that the Pi Foundation holds billions of coins across hundreds of wallets.
$0.1933 stands out as the next technical test
On the daily chart, PI fell to an all-time low of $0.1520 earlier this week before forming a double-bottom pattern. It also printed a hammer candlestick with a long lower shadow and a small body, a setup often associated with a bullish reversal.
That said, the chart still carries downside risk. Price is now approaching $0.1933, a resistance level tied to its previous low from December 16. If the token retests that zone and fails, the move could fit a break-and-retest structure, which is commonly read as bearish continuation. The report added that PI remains below all moving averages and the Supertrend indicator, leaving a return toward the $0.1520 record low as the more likely scenario under current conditions.
