PI Network Price Retreats: From Breakout Hopes to All-Time Low Fears

PI Network’s PI is showing signs of fading bullish momentum after briefly breaking above a key resistance level of $0.3587 two sessions ago. 

The token’s subsequent fall below this breakout line has sparked concerns over renewed weakness. With bears appearing to regain strength, the token could revisit its all-time low in the near term. 

Sellers Regain Control After Failed Breakout

As earlier reported by BeInCrypto, PI closed above the $0.3587 resistance on Friday, breaking out of the sideways trend that had kept its price muted since August 13. 

The token maintained its position above this breakout line on Saturday, but PI closed back below the resistance as selling pressure intensified on Sunday.

Daily chart readings now point to strengthening selloffs, worsening the likelihood of a resumption of the sideways trend, or a deeper decline. 

The token’s Elder-Ray Index, which measures the balance between bulls and bears, confirms the shift in control toward sellers. 

After three days of posting green histogram bars reflecting bullish strength, the indicator has returned a negative value. This reversal demonstrates a growing dominance of selling pressure over buying interest.

This shift implies that bulls are losing their grip on PI. Unless buying momentum re-emerges, the token could struggle to reclaim its breakout levels and may face further downward pressure.

Moreover, the token’s Balance of Power (BoP) indicator is also negative at press time, pointing to weakening buying pressure. It currently stands at -0.10.

The BoP measures the strength of buying versus selling pressure in the market, helping to identify whether bulls or bears are dominating price action. 

A negative reading, as seen now, indicates that sellers are exerting more influence than buyers, and buying pressure is weakening. 

This increases the likelihood of a continued sideways trend or even a further decline toward lower support levels for PI.

PI Risks Revisiting Record Low Unless Demand Returns

Continued selling pressure could keep PI trapped in a consolidation range between resistance at $0.3587 and support at $0.3391. If bearish sentiment grows, the altcoin may test a break below this support level, and a successful breach could see PI revisiting its all-time low of $0.3220.

However, if new demand enters the market, PI could climb back above $0.3587 and charge toward $0.3903.
