Pi Network (PI) Price: The Four Catalysts That Could Send PI to $0.50 This Week

TLDR

• PI jumped ~7% on March 10, with volume surging over 65% to $39.7 million
• Analyst Dr. Altcoin predicts PI could hit $0.50 this week, driven by Pi Day on March 14
• Network upgrades are due to complete by March 12, with new DeFi tools expected
• A potential Kraken listing could push PI as high as $0.75, per the analyst
• PI has risen ~70% from its all-time low and broken above key technical resistance

Pi Network’s PI token rose roughly 3% on March 9 after a 5% drop the day before. Over the past seven days, it climbed from $0.166 to around $0.221, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum during the same stretch.

Trading volume has jumped sharply. Daily volume was below $10 million a month ago. It now sits above $400 million according to CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap data.

Crypto analyst Dr. Altcoin posted on X that PI could reach $0.50 this week. That would be a roughly 130% gain from current levels and its highest price since July 2025.

He pointed to four drivers: Pi Day on March 14, rising trading activity, ongoing price momentum, and a possible Kraken exchange listing.

Pi Day and Network Upgrades

March 14 is Pi Day, an annual event the Pi Network community closely follows. The project’s developers have used it in past years to share major announcements and roadmap updates.

Network upgrades are scheduled to finish by March 12. New DeFi tools, possibly including a PiDEX or automated market maker, are expected to launch at that time.

The Pi Network team used its first mainnet anniversary in February to outline priorities including artificial intelligence investments, faster KYC processing, and a future KYC-as-a-Service product.

Technical Levels to Watch

On the charts, PI has moved above its 100-day Exponential Moving Average. The Supertrend indicator flipped from red to green for the first time in months.

The coin also broke above $0.2146, which was its highest point from January. The Percentage Price Oscillator crossed above zero and is trending upward.

Key support sits at $0.20 to $0.204. A hold above that zone keeps the bullish setup intact. A break below $0.20 could send it back toward $0.186.

The next resistance levels are $0.237, then $0.29. Above those, the $0.50 target comes into focus.

Dr. Altcoin added that a confirmed Kraken listing announcement around Pi Day could push PI toward $0.75.

PI ranked among the most-viewed tokens on CoinMarketCap on March 10, suggesting retail interest is growing ahead of the event.

Five days remain until March 14.
