- Pi Network (PI) price fell about 5% in 24 hours, trading around $0.58.
- These declines followed a rebound from a $0.46 low and a 20% spike on Wednesday, prompting profit-taking.
- Bullish sentiment across the broader crypto market could help bulls target the $1.00 mark.
Pi Network (PI) slid roughly 24% over the past five hours and was trading near $0.58 after a broader crypto rally pushed many assets up nearly 20% earlier. The token has retreated from Wednesday’s high of $0.66, and that reversal threatens the recovery that began after last weekend’s drop to $0.46.
Can buyers leverage the Pi ecosystem’s momentum—particularly hints of generative artificial intelligence (AI) integration—to push the token higher?
PI price falls 5% after a notable surge
Pi Network’s recent rally lifted the token from a $0.46 low to a peak of $0.66, a roughly 20% increase. That upside largely tracked gains across the wider crypto market, with major tokens advancing and investor risk appetite returning.
Altcoins benefited from renewed confidence as Bitcoin reclaimed critical levels and other large-cap tokens such as Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and BNB approached key technical thresholds. Yet Pi’s gains attracted profit-taking, driving the price below $0.58.
On-chain and social metrics nevertheless point to heightened community interest. Data from Santiment shows a spike in social volume, indicating more conversation and engagement around Pi Network. That momentum is supported by the team’s hints about integrating generative AI, which could position the project at the intersection of blockchain and AI.
Co-founder Nicolas Kokkalis participated in a GenAI panel at Consensus 2025, adding to community optimism ahead of a major network update scheduled for June 28, 2025.

PI price outlook: what comes next?
With broader market sentiment remaining bullish, PI may hold up as buyers view dips as buying opportunities. Traders should, however, watch key price levels and short-term momentum closely.
Technical indicators on the chart point to some weakening in bullish strength. On the 4-hour timeframe, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) suggests momentum has slowed, and the relative strength index (RSI) has rolled over from overbought levels. The 4-hour RSI currently sits near 53, indicating neutral-to-mild bearish pressure.
If bears take control, a break under $0.56 could open the door to a slide back toward $0.46. Conversely, renewed risk-on sentiment may encourage accumulation. A decisive break above $0.63 could rekindle momentum and push the token toward the psychological $1.00 level, with resistance near $0.75 on the way up.
Key risks include geopolitical tensions, adverse macroeconomic conditions, and potential selling pressure from token unlock events, any of which could cap Pi’s upside or accelerate downside moves.
