Pi Network Price Forecast: PI nears triangle breakout amid surging exchange demand

On-chain data suggest a demand surge

An increase in outflow from Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) reserves signals a decline in available supply pressure, which could foster the next upcycle. PiScan data shows that the CEXs’ wallet balances record an outflow of over 1.32 million PI tokens in the last 24 hours, suggesting a surge in demand from exchange users.

However, the majority of PI available supply remains off-exchange as Pi Network remains stringent on requiring Know Your Business (KYB) as a part of its listing process.

On the other hand, the Pi Network ecosystem witnessed a rise in payment transactions of 999,999 PI each, worth $200,199, in the last 24 hours. This suggests an increase in utility and adoption of the Pi Network.

Technical outlook: Pi Network eyes triangle breakout rally

Pi Network holds above the $0.1919 support base formed by a 4-hour candle low on October 11. The baseline completes a descending triangle pattern with a local resistance trendline.

PI approaches the apex of this triangle, after multiple bounce-backs from the $0.1919 base, with long-tailed candles in the last three weeks. A decisive close above the centre Pivot Point at $0.2086 would confirm a renewed uptrend, potentially targeting the R1 Pivot Point at $0.2249.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) extends a sideways trend with a declining tilt below the zero line, suggesting a sell-side inclination. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 41, rising towards the halfway line, indicating a spark in buying pressure.

On the downside, if PI slips below $0.1919, it would confirm the downside breakout of the triangle pattern, which could result in a free fall to the $0.1732 mark, aligning with the S2 Pivot Point.

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.
