Pi Network Lists on Major CEX, Price Surges 30% in a Month Before Pi Day

The trading price of Pi Network (PI) is close to $0.23, up approximately 10% this week, with a total increase of over 30% this month. The market rally is driven by dual catalysts: a major US centralized exchange (CEX) announced that PI tokens will be officially listed on Friday, and Saturday is Pi Day, a long-anticipated event for the Pi community, which has significantly boosted retail investor confidence.

Pi Network Monthly Market Overview: Dual Catalysts Driving the Rally

On February 20, Pi Network celebrated its one-year anniversary of network launch, which boosted retail sentiment and triggered a recent price rebound. The overall strong momentum has been maintained ahead of the new CEX listing and Pi Day.

The newly listed CEX becomes the second major US exchange supporting PI tokens, marking the continued implementation of the core team’s strategy to expand into the US market. Currently, PI tokens are also tradable on several offshore exchanges.

Pi Day (March 15) is an important annual milestone for the Pi community. The community is expected to closely monitor PI token activity on the CEX and during Pi Day, maintaining community enthusiasm and supporting retail demand.

The daily chart shows mixed signals: short-term bullish but overall trend still weak. Here are the main technical reference points:

Recent Resistance: $0.2396 — last Saturday’s short-term high. A confirmed close above this level could signal further bullish momentum.

Medium-term Target: 200-day EMA at $0.2837, close to the September 24 high of $0.2913.

Higher Resistance: August 30 high of $0.3984.

Immediate Support: Psychological level at $0.2000, near the 100-day moving average at $0.1989.

Deeper Support: 50-day moving average at $0.1866.

Moving averages show the 50-day and 100-day are trending upward and approaching a golden cross, indicating short-term bullishness. However, PI remains below the 200-day moving average, suggesting a medium- to long-term downtrend, so caution is advised.

Momentum indicators show MACD continues to rise above zero, with the histogram indicating moderate positive momentum. RSI hovers around 68, approaching overbought territory, which suggests upward momentum may slow if consolidation occurs.
