Vitalik Buterin Criticizes Pump.Fun While Backing Railgun and Polymarket

Pi Network is planning to unlock 188 million tokens in March, making them accessible to over 1 million users. This is a substantially larger user pool than most months. Yet, it may not increase selling pressure as demand for PI continues to surge.

However, the project’s community is also acting aggressively over social media, review-bombing Binance for its perceived listing delays. A Binance community vote overwhelmingly supports Pi, but the listing hasn’t gone live yet, prompting intense backlash.

Pi Network Prepares for Big Unlock

Pi Network is one of the most hyped crypto projects in recent times. Since its mainnet launch on February 20, PI surged nearly 100%, hitting a peak of $2.99 before seeing corrections. At the same time, it’s gaining recognition from the wider community despite earlier criticism.

A week ago, CoinMarketCap refused to update its market cap, but the platform reversed this stance yesterday. PI is now the 11th largest cryptocurrency in the market, ahead of Hedera, Chainlink, Steller, and other notable names.

CoinMarketCap’s community sentiment shows that 91% of its users are bullish on Pi, as the firm is planning to unlock 188 million tokens to over 1.1 million users this month.

A token unlock of this size is bound to have an impact on Pi Network’s price. Recently, the project launched the biggest airdrop in crypto history, which helped juice enthusiasm.

ExplorePi data shows that there are currently more than 11.5 million Pioneer accounts. However, 7.25 million (63%) accounts lock PI for three years, and 1.6 million accounts (14%) lock PI for one year.

Therefore, the selling pressure on Pi Network may not take effect immediately, even with this massive user pool.

Nonetheless, Pi Network is also ruffling more than a few feathers. Recently, Binance hosted a community vote on whether or not to list PI tokens, and its users were overwhelmingly in favor.

Despite the votes, Binance is yet to list PI, and several users are not taking this lightly. Pi fans have review-bombed its Google reviews. Without directly mentioning the project, the exchange responded to these comments:

“Before listing cryptocurrencies, Binance will check and consider many factors including liquidity and trading volume in the market,” Binance claimed. Although the exchange didn’t directly reference Pi Network, it commented on several Pi-centric 1 star ratings on Play Store.

Many (but not all) of these reviews and responses took place on Asia-based servers, where the project is the most popular. Recently, the Vietnamese government issued a warning about Pi Network, and Bybit CEO Ben Zhou reminded his users that China issued similar warnings years prior.

Regardless, Pi Network seems to have a huge community of enthusiastic supporters. Although some of its fans are getting a reputation for their hostility and defensiveness on social media, the project remains resilient to the current market conditions.

Pi Network (PI) has been consolidating after hitting new highs in late February, with technical indicators showing mixed signals. The DMI chart suggests that sellers are attempting to maintain control, as the +DI has dropped while the -DI is rising, signaling increasing bearish momentum.

Meanwhile, the RSI remains neutral, fluctuating between 45 and 55, indicating a lack of strong directional movement. If a strong uptrend emerges, PI could break above $2 and potentially test $3, but downside risks remain, especially with the upcoming unlock of 188 million tokens this month.

Pi Network DMI Shows Sellers Are Trying To Keep Control

Pi Network’s DMI chart shows that its ADX has dropped to 11.5, down from 17.7 the previous day.

The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures trend strength on a scale from 0 to 100, with values below 20 indicating a weak trend and readings above 25 suggesting a strong trend.

A declining ADX suggests that the current trend, whether bullish or bearish, is losing momentum and is less likely to continue in the short term.

At the same time, PI +DI has fallen to 19.3 from 24.5, while -DI has risen to 20.1 from 16.1. This shift indicates that bearish momentum is increasing as selling pressure overtakes buying pressure.

If this trend continues, PI could struggle to gain upside momentum and may face further price weakness.

For a bullish reversal, +DI would need to reclaim dominance over -DI alongside an ADX increase, confirming a stronger trend direction.

PI RSI Has Been Neutral For 8 Days

Pi Network’s RSI is currently at 46.9, maintaining a neutral stance since February 27 and fluctuating between 45 and 55 for the past three days.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of price movements on a scale from 0 to 100.

Readings above 70 indicate overbought conditions, suggesting a potential pullback, while readings below 30 signal oversold conditions, hinting at a possible rebound. A neutral RSI between 45 and 55 typically reflects a lack of strong momentum in either direction.

With PI RSI sitting at 46.9, the market appears indecisive, lacking clear bullish or bearish momentum. This suggests that Pi Network’s price may remain range-bound unless a significant shift in buying or selling pressure occurs.

For a stronger bullish outlook, the RSI would need to break above 55, signaling increasing buying interest, while a drop below 45 could indicate growing bearish momentum, potentially leading to further price declines.

The coin recently surpassed 4 million followers on X, however, Binance listing remains elusive, which could contribute to more selling pressure.

Pi Network Could Rise Above $3 If A Strong Uptrend Emerges

Pi Network has been in a consolidation phase over the past few days after reaching new highs at the end of February.

Consolidation periods often indicate a temporary pause in price movement as traders assess the next direction, with the potential for either a continuation of the previous trend or a reversal.

If buying pressure returns and Pi Network resumes its uptrend, it could first test resistance around $2. A breakout above this level, combined with strong momentum, could push Pi toward $3 and even higher, marking new all-time highs.

However, if the uptrend fails to materialize and selling pressure increases, PI price could enter a corrective phase. In this scenario, the price could decline toward $1.51. Its next price movements could be driven by its 188 million token unlock, which will take place this month.
