Pi Network Price Surge: GenAI Hype & Pi2Day Spark Potential Trend Reversal

Is Pi Network finally shaking off its bearish slumber? A minor price recovery this week has traders whispering about a possible trend reversal—just as the project drops fresh GenAI claims and gears up for Pi2Day celebrations.

The timing reeks of coordinated hype, but let's see if the charts agree.

From basement to moon?

After months of sideways action, Pi's token shows its first signs of life. The move coincides with developers teasing 'groundbreaking GenAI integrations'—though skeptics note the white paper still reads like a crypto Mad Libs.

Pi2Day pump incoming?

Historically, the project's annual June 28th event triggers volatility. This year's theme? 'Decentralized AI for the masses.' Cue eye rolls from Bitcoin maxis.

Bottom line:

Either Pi Network's about to prove its critics wrong, or this is another masterclass in vaporware marketing. Either way, grab popcorn—and maybe a trading bot.

(Bonus jab: At least the 'AI' claims make a change from the usual 'Web3 banking revolution' nonsense.)

Buzz growing around Pi Network’s GenAI feature

Pi Core team fuels the buzz around GenAI and its potential relationship with the Pi Network. The claims are based on Nicolas Kokkalis, one of the founders of Pi Network, joining the GenAI panel at Consensus 2025 held by Coindesk between May 14 and May 16. 

Notably, on the first day of the Consensus event, PI Network dropped by 27%, igniting the ongoing correction. PI is down nearly 70% from its highest trading price in May, at $1.67. 

The post reveals the potential GenAI features or utilization within the network to be unveiled on June 28, celebrated as Pi2Day by the Pi Network community. 

Potential hype creation before PI token unlock

PiScan data shows 268.4 million PI tokens ready to be unlocked throughout July, the highest monthly unlock until October 2027. Typically, the token unlocks often lead to increased supply pressure if the investors’ confidence is low.

As the risk-off sentiment spreads across the broader cryptocurrency market, Pi Network may experience a surge in bearish momentum. According to a Pi Network Pioneer, the vague claims of Pi Network’s linkage to a GenAI feature are a hype creation to cover a broken roadmap, serving as another smoke screen. 

Pi Network’s recovery nears trendline breakout 

Pi Network trades in the red by 1% at press time on Tuesday, following a 7% recovery on Monday. With the recovery, PI holds above a crucial short-term support trendline formed by the swing lows on May 17, May 31, and June 18. 

To reinstate a bullish recovery trend, PI must surpass the overhead trendline with a closing above $0.55, aligning with the low on April 29. In such a case, Pi Network’s reversal rally could rise towards the previous week's high at $0.60.

The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator shows that the MACD and signal lines are approaching a crossover, suggesting a potential trend reversal. Investors could consider the fresh wave of green histogram bars rising from the zero line upon crossover as a possible buy signal. 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests a bounce back from bearish levels, indicating a decline in selling pressure.

However, a closing below the lower support trendline at $0.4935 (weekly low) could potentially extend the declining trend towards the $0.40 round figure, last tested on June 13.
