Pi Network rises as MiCA whitepaper boosts sentiment and technical outlook

Pi Network’s MiCA whitepaper could open the gate to the European market

Pi Network is heating up with the release of its MiCA regulations compliance whitepaper, a legal and technical filing submitted to request permission to start trading in the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA). Although the whitepaper is linked to the official Pi Network website, there is no clear announcement from the Pi core team or its founders.

Furthermore, the whitepaper highlights the initial listing request for OKCoin Europe Ltd (OKX Europe), with a start date of November 28. Pi Network positions for a potential increase in trading volume that could support a price surge, typically seen with listing in new markets.

As of Thursday, PI is listed on five Centralized Exchanges (CEXs), which are holding a total balance of 426.33 million tokens. With the release of the MiCA regulation whitepaper, the increased demand for CEXs has led to a net outflow of 1.75 million PI, suggesting buy-side dominance.

Pi Network exceeds the 50-day EMA

Pi Network trades near the $0.2500 level, holding above the 50-day EMA at $0.2431. The short-term six-day recovery run is approaching the $0.2643 level, marked by the September 26 close, which served as key resistance in late October.

If PI successfully ends a day above this level, it could confirm a resurgent bullish trend, potentially targeting the $0.3220 as the immediate resistance, aligning with the August 1 low.

In line with the recovery run, the momentum indicators on the daily chart suggest heightened buying activity. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) rises above the signal line, accompanied by a fresh wave of advancing green histogram bars, indicating increased bullish momentum.

Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 62 is moving north, with further room for growth before it hits the overbought zone.

If PI fails to hold above the 50-day EMA, it would extend the dynamic resistance's dominance. In such a case, the PI token could retrace towards the $0.2000 round figure.

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.
