Pi Network Shows Bullish Momentum Amidst Mixed Signals
Pi Network’s native token, PI, has experienced a surge of over 4% recently, breaking out of a period of consolidation. This upward movement coincides with a significant acquisition by a large investor, often referred to as a “whale,” who has accumulated nearly 3 million PI tokens, signaling strong confidence in the token’s potential for recovery.
However, the Pi Network faces challenges in surpassing the $0.50 psychological barrier. Simultaneously, some exchanges are reportedly selling their PI holdings to other platforms.
Whale Accumulates 2.91 Million PI Tokens
Data from PiScan reveals a substantial transaction: the withdrawal of 2.91 million PI tokens, valued at $1.41 million, to a wallet identified as “GASWBD…J2AODM” from the OKX exchange. Such large-volume withdrawals are often interpreted as a sign of confidence from major investors.
Exchanges Reportedly Selling PI Holdings
PiScan data also indicates significant transactions involving the movement of PI tokens from MEXC and Bitget to other exchanges. MEXC reportedly transferred 599,999 PI tokens to Gate.io and OKX, while Bitget deposited 404,999 PI tokens into Gate.io. These outflows could suggest a potential sell-off or a strategic redistribution of PI tokens.
Pi Network Eyes $0.50 Breakout
The Pi Network’s recent breakout from a consolidation range has led to a test of the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the 4-hour chart, currently at $0.4994. PI briefly reached a 24-hour high of $0.5215 but failed to sustain a close above the 200-period EMA, resulting in a slight pullback.
A successful breach of the 200-period EMA could pave the way for an extended bullish trend, potentially reaching the $0.5223 level, which marks the low from June 18.
The 50-period EMA is nearing a crossover above the 100-period EMA, a phenomenon known as a bullish crossover. This could be interpreted as a buy signal by investors, as it indicates that short-term momentum is outpacing the medium-term trend.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator and its signal line have crossed above the zero line, accompanied by a resurgence of green histogram bars, suggesting increasing bullish momentum.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently stands at 68 on the 4-hour chart, remaining above the midline, which further supports the notion of increased bullish momentum in short-term trading activity.
On the downside, failure to maintain support above the 100-period EMA at $0.4656 could lead to a further decline towards the 50-period EMA at $0.4551.
