This technical overhaul is designed to strengthen the mainnet infrastructure, and historical trends suggest that such high-stakes network updates often lead to a tightening of available supply as holders move assets into secure wallets.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Second, the successful integration of smart contracts on the testnet has reached a critical stage. With the source code now public on GitHub, developers are flocking to the ecosystem to build decentralized applications. This shift from a simple mining app to a fully functional smart contract platform is expected to drive significant utility and demand for the token.<\/p>\n<p>Third, anticipation is building for the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PiCoreTeam\/status\/2046387231129309211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Founders\u2019 keynote<\/a> at the upcoming Consensus 2026 conference. This high-profile appearance is expected to provide the mainstream validation the project has sought for years. Major announcements regarding the open mainnet roadmap during the event could serve as a massive spark for investor confidence.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pi Network price analysis<\/h1>\n<p>On the daily chart, Pi Network price action shows that the next immediate resistance sits at the $0.187 mark, which coincides with the 100-day Exponential Moving Average. This level has proven to be a difficult hurdle for bulls to clear during recent attempts<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pi Network price and RSI chart \u2014 April 21 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A strong break above this resistance would likely confirm a bullish trend reversal and open the doors for a rally toward the $0.20 psychological level. If momentum continues to build behind the Protocol 22 upgrade, we could even see a test of the $0.214 yearly high.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, if the token fails to hold its current support at $0.165, it could trigger a deeper correction toward the $0.15 range. This would likely occur if the broader market remains under pressure from geopolitical tensions or if there are further delays in the smart contract rollout.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
