Pi Network Price Forecast: On-exchange outflows suggest demand surge

On-exchange demand sustains as external pressure offloads supply

The small list of CEXs listing Pi Network’s PI token witnesses a rise in demand, while the selling pressure persists. PiScan data shows a net outflow of 2.58 million PI tokens from CEXs' wallet balances in the last 24 hours. Typically, an outflow in exchange reserves signals a reduction in selling pressure.

However, as mentioned previously by FXStreet, the majority of PI tokens remain off exchange, which makes it difficult to track the supply flow. Still, the ongoing correction spree is largely driven by off-exchange sell-offs, as CEXs' wallet balances rarely record inflows.

Technical outlook: Will Pi Network rebound as selling pressure wanes?

Pi Network edges higher by 1% at press time on Friday, after three consecutive days of losses. The PI token holding above the $0.20 psychological support level provides a buffer phase amid the risk of a steeper correction.

The mobile mining cryptocurrency maintains a rather sideways trend within the October 10 candle, ranging from $0.2295 to $0.1996. A decisive close below the $0.1996 could test the S1 Pivot Point level at $0.1731.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) converges with its signal line, indicating a decline in selling pressure. A potential crossover above its signal line would flash a rise in bullish momentum.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 29, recovering within the oversold zone, indicating a potential reversal as overhead pressure nears saturation.

Looking up, PI should exceed the $0.2295 level to reinforce a recovery to the centre Pivot Point level at $0.2755.

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.
