• Pi Network consolidates around $0.1500 on Monday, suggesting an indecisive trend.
• The broader cryptocurrency market prepares for a recovery on the hopes of a US-Iran peace deal.
• The technical outlook for PI is bearish as sellers dominate the short-term momentum.

Pi Network (PI) is consolidating near $0.1500 at press time on Monday, lacking clear momentum as the broader cryptocurrency market anticipates a recovery amid hopes of a US-Iran peace deal. 

Pi Network lags behind the broader market narrative

Mid-tier crypto tokens post double-digit gains over the last 24 hours as the possibility of a US-Iran peace deal kindles risk-on sentiment, as previously reported by FXStreet. However, Pi Network lacks clear signals, with investors depositing over 200,000 PI tokens in the same period, indicating a drop in confidence.

The ongoing second mainnet migration phase, the upcoming 141 million PI token unlock in June, and inflows on Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) weigh down on Pi Network's chances of recovery. 

Technical outlook: Will Pi Network break below its consolidation range?

Pi Network maintains a bearish near-term tone as price remains below a stack of key 50-, 100-, and 200-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) on the 4-hour chart at $0.1539, $0.1595, and $0.1661, respectively. Potential rebounds in PI are more likely to be sold near the declining moving averages, while it trades within a consolidation range between $0.1463 and $0.1550.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 43 on the daily chart, hovering below the midline, suggesting modest downside momentum. At the same time, the MACD and its signal line move sideways below the zero line, suggesting subdued directional conviction.

Looking down, a slip below the $0.1463 support floor could threaten the S1 and S2 Pivot Points at $0.1449 and $0.1410, respectively.

To reinstate an uptrend, PI should clear the $0.1550 glass ceiling, which could open the path toward the R2 Pivot Point at $0.1594, close to the 100-period EMA at $0.1595
