Pi Network Token Skyrockets 54% as Binance Listing Rumors Intensify
Pi Network (PI) has skyrocketed 54.47% to $2.42, claiming a self-reported market cap of $15.91B that outranks many established cryptocurrencies, though these figures await verification.
market cap is higher than all the cryptocurrencies other than the top 10. However, CoinMarketCap has yet to verify these figures, adding a layer of uncertainty.
Price Surge After Open Network’s Debut
Pi Network debuted the Open Network last week after six years of promotion, which provided the users of the blockchain with external connectivity. Basically, external connectivity will allow ‘Pioneers’ to “take advantage of Pi’s utilities-backed ecosystem and applications to interface with other compliant networks and systems.”
Another bullish event is the possible listing of the PI token on Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange with a massive 24-hour spot volume of $24 billion. A community vote on Binance showed that over 86% of users are in favor of listing PI on the platform, an event that could trigger a price explosion due to massive new demand.
According to crypto influencer “GEM HUNTER” on X (formerly Twitter), PI is going to the $10 price tag in the near future with the Binance listing. The analyst noted that PI is approaching $2 amid a bearish crypto market and could easily hit $5 by the end of April.
PI also turned bullish after a breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern. As shown in the chart below, provided by “CryptoBusy” on X, the price was consolidating inside a tightening range before an explosive breakout. The breakout led to a sharp price jump, signaling a bullish continuation.
As clear from the hourly chart below, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) for the PI price action reads a value of 90.88. This indicates that the altcoin is in extreme overbought territory, suggesting a potential retracement or cooling-off period in the near future. On the other hand, the MACD line (blue) remains above the signal line with rising histogram bars, confirming strong bullish momentum.

It is also important to note that PI has surged past the upper BB resistance level ($2.41), highlighting heightened volatility and the likelihood of a short-term pullback before continuation. Meanwhile, the $1.85 and $1.29 price levels stand as the nearest resistance levels for the cryptocurrency.
