On June 23, 2025, the native token PI of Pi Network fell to $0.47, reaching a recent low. Subsequently, the market quickly reversed, rising for three consecutive days, and on June 26, it peaked at $0.66 during the trading session, with a cumulative increase of 35%. However, there was significant selling pressure at the high point, and it closed that day around $0.55.
This wave of V-shaped Rebound has attracted widespread attention from the market and has also focused attention on the upcoming annual community event - Pi2Day.
This round of Rebound is not without a source. First of all, Pi2Day is held on June 28 every year and is one of the most important commemorative events for the Pi community, historically often accompanied by key updates such as mainnet progress, application layer ecosystem announcements, KYC policy updates, and so on.
Secondly, social media has spread speculation about the mainnet launch and comments about “major news coming soon” in a short time, creating a significant sense of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). In addition, there are reports from some exchanges that they may open trading pairs for Pi, although it has not been officially announced yet, this kind of positive expectation has accelerated buying.
However, the 35% rapid increase also brings concerns. A large number of sell orders have appeared in the high-price area, indicating that many early mining users have chosen to cash out their profits before Pi2Day. Considering that the current circulation of Pi mainly comes from the “free output” of early users, this kind of profit-taking exerts strong pressure on the price.
In addition, some trading platforms only allow IOU trading, and the actual mainnet tokens have not yet fully circulated, which can lead investors to overestimate the actual market value and liquidity, further exacerbating volatility.
The community has high hopes for the Pi2Day event. Especially against the backdrop of the mainnet not yet fully launched and the relatively weak ecological applications, a successful event could become an important milestone for boosting confidence in the project.
However, one should also be wary of the typical phenomenon in the crypto market where “good news leads to selling”. If the content of the activity is insufficient or no significant breakthroughs are announced, the current high expectations may quickly turn into selling pressure.
The 35% rebound of Pi Network before Pi2Day indicates that the market still has enthusiasm, but the lack of fundamental support will make the short-term price unstable. It is recommended that investors:
