Pi Network entered October with PI trading near USD 0.092 as traders assessed fresh Open Standard partnership news and a tightly defined weekly price structure. The token gained 0.2% over 24 hours, but it remained more than 95% below its 2025 all-time high. PI also continued trading between weekly support at USD 0.08542 and resistance at USD 0.09695.
The Pi Network price stood at USD 0.09176, while the chart showed a nearby reading of USD 0.09182. Pi Coin ranked 79th by market value, with a market capitalization of USD 1.032 billion.
Pi Network launched its mobile application in 2019 as a phone-first cryptocurrency project. Its Open Mainnet later went live in February 2025, opening the network beyond its earlier enclosed phase.
Pi Network announced a partnership with Open Standard, the company behind Open USD, or OUSD. Open Standard describes OUSD as a partner-governed stablecoin designed as open infrastructure.
Open Standard works with more than 200 partners across payments, technology, finance, and cryptocurrency. Its network includes companies such as Visa, Google, and Stripe. Those companies belong to Open Standard's network and are not direct Pi Network partners.
Pi Network said the partnership could explore rewards programs for Pioneers and broader utility across its ecosystem. The announcement describes those plans as exploratory, while further details will follow later.
Therefore, the announcement introduces possible new uses rather than an active rewards program. Market attention now also remains focused on whether PI can confirm strength through its weekly chart.
PI has traded inside a rising weekly channel since reaching its July low. That structure followed the sharp decline from the token's May and June highs.
The price currently trades below the channel's midpoint. Support sits at USD 0.08542, while the main resistance level stands at USD 0.09695. The current weekly candle opened at USD 0.09080 and remains green.
The candle closes on Monday, October 5, at 00:00 UTC, or 5:30 AM IST. Every technical level in the current setup depends on weekly closing prices.
Meanwhile, the weekly RSI stands at 33.37, slightly above its moving average of 28.90. Momentum therefore remains weak, although the indicator has begun stabilizing from lower levels.
Buyers need a weekly close above USD 0.09695 with volume exceeding the average of the previous 20 weekly candles. That resistance sits about 5.6% above the current price. A confirmed move could put USD 0.11401 into focus. This level stands approximately 24.2% above the current price and sits close to the channel's upper boundary.
The next chart level stands at USD 0.13532, about 47.4% above the current price. The bullish path also includes a possible pullback toward broken resistance after the first upward move.

Sellers could regain control if PI fails to clear USD 0.09695. In that case, the chart points back toward USD 0.08542, which sits about 7.0% below the current price. That support also aligns with the lower boundary of the rising channel. A weekly close below it would break the existing channel structure to the downside.
The next lower level sits at USD 0.07037, roughly 23.4% below the current price. That area marks the July low where the current rising channel started. Below that, the chart identifies USD 0.05407 as another downside level. It stands around 41.1% below the current price.
PI's relative performance against Bitcoin also remains weak. The token gained 0.2% against the dollar but lost 1.2% against Bitcoin during the same 24-hour period.
These figures suggest Bitcoin gained about 1.4% during that period. As a result, PI failed to match Bitcoin's move despite posting a small dollar gain.
General market discussion around PI this week has centered on the Open Standard announcement. Still, the proposed Pioneer rewards remain exploratory rather than active.
For the Pi Network price prediction October 2026 setup, the weekly chart provides the immediate levels to watch. A close above USD 0.09695 with stronger volume would strengthen the upward structure. A close below USD 0.08542 would place the rising channel under pressure.
PI remains near USD 0.092 while traders track the Open Standard partnership and its weekly price structure. Resistance at USD 0.09695 separates PI from higher targets at USD 0.11401 and USD 0.13532. Meanwhile, a weekly close below USD 0.08542 would expose lower levels at USD 0.07037 and USD 0.05407.
