The price of pSTAKE Finance jumped more than 117% as Bitcoin climbed past $107,000, closing in on a new all-time high.
The native token of the liquid-staking protocol rocketed 117% to a high of $0.072 — a level last seen in December 2024.
As the altcoin captured traders’ attention, profit-taking began to eat into the upward momentum.
At the time of writing, pSTAKE traded around $0.060, still up more than 64% in the past 24 hours.
Why did pSTAKE Finance’s price rise?
The 117% surge in pSTAKE Finance occurred alongside Bitcoin’s rise to $107,000, a rebound that followed a pullback toward roughly $102,000 during a volatile start to the week.
Bitcoin’s bullish momentum lifted many BTC-related tokens, and as a leading Bitcoin yield and liquid-staking protocol, pSTAKE benefited directly from that impulse.
Greater investor interest in BTC-backed investment products likely contributed to the rally for pSTAKE Finance, a BTC-focused DeFi (BTCfi) platform.
The protocol’s ability to let users stake Bitcoin while retaining liquidity fits the current BTCfi narrative, amplified by Bitcoin’s upward trend.
Additional network integrations have also supported growth for the project.
Most recently, the protocol launched PSTAKE staking season 13, which went live on Base on May 20, 2025.
“S13 has $0.0075 cbBTC rewards with 8.5/12.5 million max staked tokens,” pSTAKE posted on X. “Stake and participate in protocol community activities to earn $cbBTC rewards.”
pSTAKE Finance price outlook
Market sentiment around pSTAKE is largely bullish, but technical indicators and market dynamics could drive short-term direction.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 91, signaling overbought conditions and increasing the likelihood of a short-term correction.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also reflects these dynamics. While the MACD line remains above the signal line, a breakdown driven by selling pressure would warrant close attention from traders.
Given the broader market outlook and Bitcoin’s strength, pSTAKE could test resistance near $0.10 and potentially $0.20.
If those levels are cleared, further targets include $0.80 and the all-time high near $1.25. Wider DeFi adoption tied to Bitcoin demand would be a major catalyst for reaching those levels.
However, with RSI signaling overbought conditions, profit-taking could prompt a faster pullback.
Key support levels to watch are around $0.035 and $0.020.
