Protocol upgrade and new features stimulate renewed buyer confidence
Pi is seeing strong buying interest ahead of its Protocol v25 upgrade, which is scheduled for July 22 and aims to enhance network stability, reliability, and the efficiency of privacy-preserving smart contracts, according to Banklesstimes. This confirmed event boosts confidence among users and developers by addressing critical infrastructure improvements that could make the blockchain more attractive for adoption. In parallel, recent releases of new network features, including app enhancements, SoloHost, Sign-in, and PiVerify, as reported by Banklesstimes, add further utility to the Pi ecosystem and reinforce a positive market environment.
Buyer momentum persists amid mixed technical signals and resistance
Technical analysis highlights that PI/USD remains above the MA-20 ($0.085) and MA-50 ($0.0829) on the H1 chart, while still trading significantly below the MA-200 ($0.1633). The Ichimoku Kijun sets immediate support at $0.0843. On the indicator side, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) flashes a strong buy, the Average Directional Index (ADX) signals buy, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 58.86, continuing to indicate buying. Meanwhile, the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is overbought, Stochastic RSI points to a sell, and the Awesome Oscillator remains neutral. Bull/Bear Power is in buy territory, showing dominance by buyers on the session, but some divergence among oscillators suggests a partially mixed short-term technical picture.
Consolidation favored as breakout risk shapes near-term outlook
Over the next 2 to 3 trading days, PI/USD is expected to fluctuate within a volatility band between $0.0756 and $0.0936. The baseline scenario calls for a period of consolidation between immediate support and resistance zones. Should the price break above resistance, further upside and new short-term highs are likely within the forecast range. Alternatively, if support at $0.0843 does not hold, PI/USD could slip toward the lower end of the band, though current probabilities strongly favor continued upward momentum.
Earlier, analysts noted that Pi was showing signs of renewed bullish momentum driven by protocol upgrades and sustained buying interest. The current outlook not only reinforces this positive trend with further confirmation from technical indicators and platform developments, but also highlights $0.0843 as a pivotal level—continued consolidation above this threshold may set the stage for another attempt at breaking short-term resistance.
