This retreat has pushed its market cap from over $19 billion to $1.4 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pi Coin price has dropped amid profit-taking<\/h2>\n<p>Pi Network has slumped because of the broader crypto market crash that has affected Bitcoin (BTC) and other altcoins. Bitcoin dropped below $65,000, while top altcoins like LayerZero, Hyperliquid, Mantle, and Lighter fell by nearly 10% in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The retreat is also happening as investors book profits after the recent surge. Pi Network was up by 60% between its lowest and highest levels this month as traders waited for the first anniversary of the mainnet launch. It also jumped amid optimism that Kraken will list it soon.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The other potential reason for the sell-off is that the team\u2019s address on the future did not address key issues. This address focused on priorities like boosting it utility growth and the upcoming KYC-as-a-Service, which will see it compete with World and Humanity Protocol.<\/p>\n<p>However, the video did not address pressing issues that have led to a crash. For example, it did not talk on tokenomics, including the ongoing token unlocks and the fact that it does not have a deflation mechanism like token burns.<\/p>\n<p>The developers also did not talk about ways to make it a decentralized network where the community votes on key issues. Today, all decisions are made by the team, while the obscure Pi Foundation holds billions of tokens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, they did not address the future plans on exchange listings as Pi is only available in a handful of exchanges.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pi Network Coin price technical analysis<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pi Coin price chart | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The daily timeframe chart shows that the Pi Coin price has slipped in the past few days. After peaking at $0.2050 last week, it has dropped to $0.1600.<\/p>\n<p>The coin has remained below the 50-day moving average and the Supertrend indicator. It has also slumped below the Ichimoku cloud indicator.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The most likely Pi Network price forecast is bearish, with the next key target being the year-to-date low of $0.1290. A move to that level may be bullish as it will be a double-bottom pattern whose neckline is at $0.2050. On the other hand, dropping below that level will invalidate the bullish outlook and point to more downside to $0.100.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pi Network Coin price has suffered a harsh reversal in the past few days, moving from last week\u2019s high of $0.2050 to the current $0.1580.
