Pi Network Price Forecast: Bulls extend recovery on strong retail demand

Pi Network (PI) trades around $0.2000 at press time on Friday, extending gains for the fifth consecutive day, totaling roughly 20% up so far this week. The steady recovery is supported by rising retail demand, as evidenced by massive withdrawals from Centralized Exchanges (CEXs). The technical outlook is bullish as PI tests the zone above the $0.2000 psychological level.

Retail demand grows strong

Pi Network sees a surge in retail interest, prompting massive withdrawals from exchanges. PiScan data shows CEXs' supply dropped by 1.68 million PI tokens over the last 24 hours, reducing selling pressure and indicating rising investor demand. Consistent outflows from CEXs support market recovery ahead of Pi Day, coming on March 14. A similar recovery was observed a week before the Pi Network’s first anniversary as an Open Network, which was on February 20. 

Technical outlook: Will Pi Network extend its rally above $0.20?

Pi Network is up 2% at press time on Friday, maintaining a streak of four bullish closes so far this week, for roughly 20% gains. The near-term bias for PI is cautiously bullish as it tests the zone above a long-running descending resistance trendline connecting the August 30 and November 24 highs, signaling a shift away from the prior downtrend. 

If PI holds a decisive close above the 100-day Exponential Moving Average at $0.1960, it would confirm an upside breakout of this descending trendline. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) stays above its signal line on the daily chart, in positive territory as green histogram bars expand, suggesting an increase in bullish impulse. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 70 signals overbought conditions, indicating buyers are in complete control, but risk losing traction at oversaturated levels.

On the flip side, if PI fails to hold above the 100-day EMA, the next immediate support is at the 50-day EMA at $0.1761, which helps maintain the upside bias, followed by secondary support near the October 10 low at $0.1533.
