Pi Network breakout rally retests $0.40

The PI token rebounded with the repeating Adam and Eve pattern breakout on Friday, peaking at $0.4661 on Sunday before closing the day in the red at $0.3950. The PI token finds support on the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.3863 on the 4-hour chart, bouncing off over 3% so far on Monday and reclaiming its hold over $0.4000.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 58 holds a sideways trend above the halfway line after slipping lower from the overbought zone on the same time frame. This suggests a cool-off in buying pressure, creating room for growth.

Similarly, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line moves flat after flashing a sell signal as it crossed below its signal line on Sunday.

If the PI token reclaims the 200-period EMA at $0.4271, it could extend the rally to the $0.4734 level, last tested on July 23.

On the contrary, if the 100-period EMA near the $0.4000 level fails to uphold bullish support, the PI token could retest the 50-period EMA at $0.3864.

Cryptocurrency prices FAQs

How do new token launches or listings affect cryptocurrency prices?

Token launches influence demand and adoption among market participants. Listings on crypto exchanges deepen the liquidity for an asset and add new participants to an asset’s network. This is typically bullish for a digital asset.

How do hacks affect cryptocurrency prices?

A hack is an event in which an attacker captures a large volume of the asset from a DeFi bridge or hot wallet of an exchange or any other crypto platform via exploits, bugs or other methods. The exploiter then transfers these tokens out of the exchange platforms to ultimately sell or swap the assets for other cryptocurrencies or stablecoins. Such events often involve an en masse panic triggering a sell-off in the affected assets.

How do macroeconomic releases and events affect cryptocurrency prices?

Macroeconomic events like the US Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates influence crypto assets mainly through the direct impact they have on the US Dollar. An increase in interest rate typically negatively influences Bitcoin and altcoin prices, and vice versa. If the US Dollar index declines, risk assets and associated leverage for trading gets cheaper, in turn driving crypto prices higher.

How do major crypto upgrades like halvings, hard forks affect cryptocurrency prices?

Halvings are typically considered bullish events as they slash the block reward in half for miners, constricting the supply of the asset. At consistent demand if the supply reduces, the asset’s price climbs.
