Pi Coin is experiencing a major resurgence in 2025, up over 120% in a week and gaining momentum with strong technical signals, ecosystem expansion, and speculation around a significant update at Consensus 2025. While risks like token unlocks and lack of major exchange listings persist, analysts forecast short- and long-term growth. If Pi Network executes on its roadmap, it could transition from a speculative asset into a legitimate wealth-generation opportunity by 2030.
As we move forward into 2025, Pi Coin, a cryptocurrency that began as a mobile mining experiment, has transitioned into a significant player in the digital currency arena.
With its Open Mainnet launch and growing user base, Pi Coin is in a transformative stage that raises questions for investors and enthusiasts alike: Is Pi Coin merely a product of hype, a beacon of hope, or a genuine avenue for wealth creation?
As of this writing, Pi Coin is presently trading at $1.28, up 18% in the last 24 hours (and up a staggering 121 % in the last week). This remarkable jump comes after weeks of price stagnation and accumulation, where we saw Pi trading close to $0.75 on May 9, having traded as low as $0.40 in April.
Currently, the RSI is reading 61.77, down from a recent overbought peak, but still in bullish territory. This indicates strong buying momentum, though it is beginning to normalize. The RSI is still above the 50-neutral line, meaning it has ongoing strength unless a reversal occurs.
The MACD line is currently at 0.1079, just below the signal line at 0.1148, and has a modest bearish crossover. The histogram has a very slight negative value (-0.0069), suggesting that the dip could be temporary.
Pi price has cleared all major short and mid-term moving averages. Price action on the recent candles suggests that there is consolidation around the $1.28 level since it broke out with significant volume. Overall, the price action represents a healthy rest and could continue pursuing upside if volume can pull it along.
Although this MACD crossover suggests a temporary pullback or a consolidation period, the trend is still bullish. Assuming price stays above the $1.20 support and the RSI stays above the 50 neutral line, the next significant upside price targets are $1.35 and the psychological resistance of $1.50.
The rally is powered not only by the technicals but should also be recognized for Pi Network's impressive ecosystem aspects.
Mobile Mining: Pi makes it easy for users to mine tokens on their mobile, which does not require energy-intensive computers, and makes mining inclusive to everyone.
KYC Required: Users of Pi Network need to undergo KYC before migrating their tokens to the mainnet, which adds a level of regulatory protection.
Referral Incentives: Users are incentivized to refer others to the network through a multi-level referral system.
Locking Tokens: Users can increase mining incentives by locking their tokens for extended periods to bolster long-term value for the user.
In addition, Pi Network has launched a liquidity pool of 1 billion Pi tokens to assist with its growing decentralized finance (DeFi) initiatives while providing some price stability. Besides this, a major update is expected from the Pi Network team on May 14, which coincides with the Consensus 2025 Summit. The event will feature Pi’s founder, potentially revealing new partnerships, technical upgrades, or even hints about future listings.
Despite the optimism, Pi Network is also facing headwinds. Between May 15 and June 6, the network will unlock approximately 255 million PI tokens valued at over $276 million. This release is expected to apply significant supply-side pressure, testing Pi’s resilience in the market.
Another critical issue is exchange listings. Although Pi has gained traction on smaller exchanges, it is still absent from major platforms. A listing on major exchanges will boost liquidity and grant broader market validation.
According to CoinCodex, Pi Coin may show continued gains for May 2025 in a range between $1.26 and $4.34, with an average projected price of $2.58 representing a potential gain of 190%, from early May. With June projected prices expected to be between $3.95 and $6.04, this represents a 300% upside if bullish momentum is continued.
On a more cautious note, DigitalCoinPrice forecasts an average of $3.00 in 2025, $3.83 in 2026, $5.38 in 2027, and $8.14 by 2030.
The Pi Network, with its growth and community-driven approach, is more than just hype. It is because of its mining approach, as well as its real-world use cases and growing app ecosystem, that Pi Network is a promising contender in the cryptocurrency landscape.
Pi Coin currently stands between hope and hype. If it can meet its roadmap, particularly the open mainnet and expanded utility, Pi Coin may create serious wealth-building opportunities for its users by the decade's end.
