Pi Network Price Forecast: PI stabilizes as CEXs outflow reduce selling pressure

Steady on-exchange demand for PI

PiScan data shows a net outflow of 2.30 million PI tokens in the last 24 hours from the Know-Your-Business (KYB) verified Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) wallet balances. This indicates a 0.5481% decline in supply available on CEXs, reducing the selling pressure.

In the same line, the sixth-largest wallet on Pi Network acquired 2.77 million PI tokens, increasing its holdings to 371,154,239 tokens. This marked the largest transaction on the network in the last 24 hours, which could potentially lift the traders’ mood. Notably, the large wallet investor, commonly referred to as a whale, has been buying PI tokens for the last five consecutive days.

A steady reduction in supply pressure, as large wallet investors remain confident, sets the stage for a potential rebound in Pi coin.

Pi Network struggles to hold bullish momentum

Pi Network edges higher by over 2% at press time on Wednesday, bouncing off the $0.2063 low from earlier on the day. The intraday recovery aims for the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.2555, which acted as a dynamic resistance for the fourth time last week.

If PI marks a successful close above $0.2555, it could extend the uptrend to the August 1 low at $0.3220.

The technical indicators on the daily chart suggest a decline in buying pressure after PI reversed from the 50-day EMA last week. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 42, standing between the halfway point and the oversold zone. At the same time, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) retraces to the signal line, risking a crossover, which would confirm a renewal in bearish momentum.

Looking down, the key support for PI remains the $0.1919 low from October 11.

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.
