The price of Pi Network’s token, Pi has recently experienced major selling pressure, dropping by 4% to $1.45. This decline came after a brief period of excitement when the coin surged by 20% to $1.70 but later corrected. Despite this setback, new developments, such as the launch of Pi domains, have sparked renewed interest, leading many to believe that PiI could once again push above $2 in the near future.
The support level for Pi is currently at $1.20. If the price drops below this level, it could signal further declines. On the other hand, the resistance level is around $1.90. A breakout above this point could trigger bullish momentum, with $3 being the next major target.
What Went Wrong On Pi Day?
Pi Network’s much-anticipated Pi Day celebrations failed to meet expectations, resulting in a significant sell-off. One of the main reasons behind this was the KYC purge, where millions of unverified accounts lost their Pi tokens, leading to frustration and panic selling among the community.
Another contributing factor is the market constraints, as Pi Network still operates within a closed-loop economy without open blockchain access and major exchange listings, limiting its growth potential.
New Developments Stir Excitement
Despite the challenges, Pi Network remains optimistic about its future. The recent launch of domain bidding with Pi Coins has sparked renewed excitement, offering community members the chance to secure unique domain names in the decentralized space. This development is seen as a potential game-changer for Web3.
Looking ahead, the future of Pi Network will depend on its ability to develop stronger utility, gain real-world adoption, and deliver a clear, actionable roadmap. With ongoing developments and potential exchange listings, many are hopeful that Pi Network could soon rise to new highs.
Ethereum (ETH) is up more than 10% over the last seven days as the market shows signs of renewed activity. However, key technical indicators reveal a mix of weakening trend strength and cautious optimism from buyers.
ETH is currently battling critical resistance zones that could define whether the rally continues or fades. With momentum still fragile, May could be a decisive month for Ethereum’s next major move.
Ethereum’s Trend Weakens Sharply as Bears Close In
Ethereum’s DMI chart shows its ADX is currently at 24.91, a sharp decline from 39 two days ago. The ADX, or Average Directional Index, measures the strength of a trend, whether up or down.
Generally, an ADX reading above 25 signals a strong trend, while values below 20 suggest the market is entering a period of weakness or range-bound trading.
The steep drop in ADX indicates that Ethereum’s recent momentum is quickly losing strength. Without renewed buying or selling pressure, ETH could remain stuck in a more volatile, sideways pattern over the short term.
Meanwhile, the directional indicators are showing a clear shift. The +DI, which tracks bullish pressure, has dropped to 22.71, falling from 31.71 three days ago and 27.3 yesterday.
In contrast, the -DI tracks bearish pressure has climbed to 17.68, up from just 7.16 three days ago and 15.64 yesterday. Yesterday, the gap between buyers and sellers nearly closed, with +DI at 20.91 and -DI at 20.1, suggesting sellers almost regained market control.
ETH RSI Climbs After Sharp Drop: Will the Recovery Hold?
Ethereum’s RSI is currently sitting at 56, up from 45.5 one day ago, after reaching 70.46 four days ago. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of price movements.
Typically, an RSI above 70 suggests an asset is overbought and may be due for a pullback, while an RSI below 30 indicates oversold conditions and the potential for a rebound.
Readings between 30 and 70 are considered neutral, with levels around 50 often signaling a market at a decision point. The sharp swing in Ethereum’s RSI over the past few days reflects the recent volatile sentiment around ETH.
With the RSI back up to 56, Ethereum has regained momentum after dipping into neutral-to-bearish territory. A reading above 50 leans slightly bullish, suggesting that buyers have started to reassert some control, though not with overwhelming strength.
However, if momentum stalls again and the RSI turns back down, it would suggest the recovery is losing steam and that Ethereum could fall back into a broader consolidation or even a correction phase.
Ethereum Battles Key Resistance as Breakout or Breakdown Looms
Ethereum price has made several attempts over the past few days to break above the resistance level at $1,828. If ETH manages to break and hold above this level decisively, it could open the door for a stronger move upward.
The next major target would be $1,954, and if bullish momentum remains strong, a further rally toward $2,104 could unfold. Ethereum could eventually test $2,320 in an even more aggressive uptrend, marking a significant bullish extension.
These levels will be key to watch as they could define the strength and sustainability of any breakout in the coming days.
On the downside, if Ethereum fails to hold its current levels and the trend reverses, the first critical support to watch lies at $1,749. A break below that could trigger a move lower toward $1,689.
Losing these levels would signal a much deeper correction, suggesting that the recent attempts at recovery were only temporary before a more prolonged bearish phase sets in.
After a previously unconfirmed report of Trump Media raising funds to acquire Bitcoin (BTC) earlier this week, the Donald Trump-backed company announced plans to implement a BTC treasury soon. According to the announcement, Trump Media entered into a subscription agreement with about 50 institutional investors in a bid to raise a total of $2.5 billion,
The company highlighted that $1.5 billion will be raised through selling common stock, while the remaining $1 billion will be raised through 0 percent convertible senior secured notes. Trump Media plans to close the offering by May 29, 2025.
“We view Bitcoin as an apex instrument of financial freedom, and now Trump Media will hold cryptocurrency as a crucial part of our assets. Our first acquisition of a crown jewel asset, this investment will help defend our Company against harassment and discrimination by financial institutions, which plague many Americans and U.S. firms and will create synergies for subscription payments, a utility token, and other planned transactions across Truth Social and Truth+,” Trump Media’s CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes, noted.
Market Impact of Trump Media’s Bitcoin Adoption
The adoption of Bitcoin by Trump Media was in retrospect imminent, especially following the launch of the World Liberty Financial (WLFI). With the deal expected to close before the end of this week, Bitcoin price is well positioned to rally towards a new all-time high (ATH) in the near future.
Moreover, on-chain data shows the number of Bitcoin whales holding at least 1k BTCs has gradually increased in the last few weeks to about 1,455 entities. Consequently, Santiment data shows a significant increase in FOMO traders, especially after the BTC price teased above $110k on Tuesday during the mid-North American trading session.

Fresh on-chain data suggests Galaxy Digital may be offloading its Ethereum (ETH) holdings on the Binance exchange. Per the data, the company is pitching its tent with Solana (SOL), stacking up nearly $100 million worth of SOL over two weeks.
Galaxy Digital Withdraws 752,240 SOL From Binance
According to an X post by Lookonchain, Galaxy Digital appears to be losing faith in Ethereum following its on-chain activities. On-chain data reveals that the financial services may have sold a large tranche of ETH in exchange for SOL tokens.
The data indicates that over the last 14 days, Galaxy Digital deposited 65,600 ETH valued at $105 million on Binance. Within the same period, Galaxy Digital withdrew 752,240 SOL tokens in a possible ETH-to-SOL swap.
“It seems that Galaxy Digital is selling ETH and buying SOL,” said Lookonchain. “In the past 2 weeks, Galaxy Digital deposited 65,600 ETH ($105.48M) to Binance and withdrew 752,240 SOL ($98.37M) from Binance.”
The on-chain movement has raised eyebrows given the sheer volume and consistency of transactions over a two-week window. The steady SOL purchases follow Galaxy Digital staking $40 million SOL after reaching a settlement agreement with the NYAG over LUNA sales.
This is not the first time the firm is selling Ethereum, with the company ditching ETH to stack Bitcoin in late 2024. Ethereum price reacted negatively to the reports, shedding 4% and dousing optimism for an ETH rally to $3K.
Ethereum Faces A Torrid Patch As Solana Surges Forward
Galaxy Digital’s on-chain activity comes amid a rough patch for Ethereum in recent weeks. The largest altcoin is trading under $2,000 after an underwhelming Q1, forcing the hand of investors to sell their ETH holdings.
While Galaxy Digital is selling off its ETH, Tron founder Justin Sun is hodling his ETH holdings. Trump-backed WLFI has denied selling its ETH after a wallet linked to the project offloaded over $8 million worth of ETH tokens.
On the flipside, Solana is basking in a red-hot streak of positive on-chain metrics. Over the last 30 days, Solana had the highest number of active wallet addresses by a distance, while transaction volume outclassed its peers.
The combination of rising network activity around Solana is fueling speculation for SOL rise to $2,000. At the moment, SOL is trading at $138.2, slipping by 1.42%, but enthusiasm among traders is at an all-time high.
