Pi Coin Smashes Through $1 Barrier With 35% Single-Day Rally

Move over, meme coins—Pi’s sudden surge just gave crypto skeptics whiplash. The once-dormant project defied gravity (and common sense) with a vertical pump that left traders scrambling.

What’s fueling the rally? Speculation, mostly. No major exchange listings, no protocol upgrades—just the kind of irrational exuberance that makes Wall Street veterans clutch their pearls. But try telling that to the army of Pi holders now sitting on paper gains.

This isn’t organic growth—it’s a classic crypto liquidity squeeze. Thin order books got steamrolled by retail FOMO, proving once again that in crypto, fundamentals are optional. Will it hold? That depends on whether the next wave of buyers believes in the project... or just the greater fool theory.

• Pi Coin price has risen to $1.53, marking a 63.3% daily gain and a 158% weekly rise.
• The token’s trading volume has risen to over $1.4 billion due to the fueled market speculation that the token could soon test $1.50 and possibly approach the $2 mark if bullish momentum continues.

Pi has finally risen past the $1 mark for the first time in nearly two months. In the last few days, the price of Pi has significantly increased, with the price reaching a 68.12% increase. Within a few days, the price moved up from about $0.59 to nearly $0.99, and today it has broken past the $1 resistance point. 

Pi Coin is priced at $1.47 at the time of this writing. The recent price represents a 55.9% increase in the last 24 hours and a 148.8% rise over the past seven days. This recent price surge can be traced back to a steady upward trend in Pi’s value over the past few weeks.

Pi Coin’s Momentum and Market Speculation 

After hitting a low of $0.40 in April, the token gradually climbed and hovered around $0.75 by May 9. Also, in the past 24 hours, Pi’s trading volume has significantly increased to over $1.4 billion, which is a 152.8% increase. Despite this new high, the coin is still yet to hit its all-time high of $2.99, making it down 9.6% in the last two months. 

With all of this, there’s a possibility that if buyers stay in control and the token’s value holds above $1.20, the next possible level could be the key mark of $1.50, and there just might be a move toward the $2 range. In all of this, there have been several conversations across the crypto space, as holders and observers are speculating on what might come next for the project.
