Pi Network’s native token climbed above $0.20 after recent losses across the broader crypto market. The asset gained over 10% in 24 hours while bitcoin and several altcoins declined. The move comes as the team advances its v20.2 upgrade deadline to March 12.
Pi Network price rebounded sharply after hitting a low of $0.1312 on February 11. The token had dropped nearly 95% from its all-time high on February 26, 2025. However, buyers stepped in quickly and pushed the price back above $0.20 within days.
The asset later pulled back to $0.16 as resistance capped gains. Still, bulls regained control and drove Pi Network price above $0.20 again. The token now trades more than 50% above its recent all-time low.
Market data shows the project’s valuation rising past $1.9 billion. This valuation ranks PI as the 44th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Meanwhile, traders monitor upcoming token unlocks scheduled for tomorrow.
Technical indicators show mixed signals on shorter timeframes. The Relative Strength Index moved higher from oversold levels and signals rising buying pressure. However, analysts flag potential volatility linked to the token unlock event.
Earlier this week, PI gained 9% in one day after the v19.9 protocol update. The team confirmed progress on network migration tied to that release. Consequently, traders linked price strength to development milestones.
The daily chart shows Pi Network price breaking a descending trendline from late 2025. This breakout suggests that sustained selling pressure has weakened. Buyers then pushed the token toward the $0.19 to $0.20 zone.
However, the market now faces resistance between $0.25 and $0.27. Sellers previously defended this area and formed lower highs. Therefore, this band may determine the next directional move.
If bulls clear $0.27, the chart would invalidate the prior lower-high structure. Such a move could open a path toward the $0.35 level. Higher timeframes show a supply zone around that area.
If the token fails at resistance, consolidation may follow. The $0.17 to $0.18 range stands as the nearest support zone. Price action in this range previously attracted fresh demand.
The development team updated its upgrade schedule this week. It had targeted Pi Day 2026 for v20.2 completion. However, the team moved the deadline forward to March 12.
The team stated that v20.2 remains in progress. It described the release as the next major milestone. Traders now track both the technical resistance zone and the March 12 deadline.
