Source Fxstreet
  • Pi Network edges lower on Wednesday, extending losses for the fourth consecutive day.
  • The Pi Core Team pushes the mainnet upgrade to protocol 24, with all mainnet node operators required to complete it by June 2.
  • The technical outlook for PI is bearish, with selling pressure mounting.

Pi Network (PI) is under intense selling pressure, retracing below $0.1500 at press time on Wednesday. Pi Core Team announces June 2 as the deadline for the mainnet upgrade to the next Stellar protocol version 24. Technical outlook for PI remains bearish as selling pressure builds.

Pi Network’s next mainnet upgrade

Pi Network’s core team continues to steadily push mainnet upgrades, with the Stellar protocol version 24 next in line. The underlying custom protocol of the Pi ecosystem is adapted from the Stellar blockchain, which requires it to pull the latest upgrades for added functionality.

The team announced a June 2 deadline for all mainnet nodes to complete the necessary upgrades to avoid downtime. Retail interest in mainnet upgrades is declining even as the downward price spiral continues. 

How low will the PI token go?

Pi Network inches closer to $0.1400 at press time on Wednesday, extending its bearish bias as price remains well below the 50-, 100-, and 200-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at $0.1507, $0.1564, and $0.1634.

The cluster of overhead EMAs reinforces the prevailing downtrend, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) near 28 slips into oversold territory on the 4-hour chart and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) descends below its signal line on the same chart, suggesting that bearish momentum persists even as short-term selling pressure appears stretched.

Looking down, the S2 Pivot Point serves as the immediate line of defense at $0.1410, guarding the downside to the S3 Pivot Point at $0.1357.

On the topside, initial resistance is seen at the lost S1 Pivot Point at $0.1449, close to the broken support level of $0.1463. A move above that zone would then face the 50-period EMA at $0.1507.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
