Key takeaways
- Pi Network is trading above $0.091 after gaining 10% in August.
- OpenPay has restored its cash-in feature, enabling users to convert PI and other altcoins into the OUSD stablecoin.
- PI must break above the $0.1000–$0.1022 resistance zone to strengthen its bullish outlook.
Pi Network traded in positive territory above $0.091 on Tuesday, preserving the 10% gain recorded during August.
The token’s latest recovery coincides with OpenPay’s decision to restore its cash-in feature. The service allows users to convert PI and other supported altcoins into the OUSD stablecoin for payments and transfers.
Despite improving utility, PI remains below the psychologically important $0.1000 level. A confirmed breakout above this resistance is required to establish a stronger upward trend.
OpenPay restores cash-in support for PI
OpenPay, a Web3 decentralized wallet connected to the Pi Network ecosystem, announced on Monday that it had reintroduced its cash-in feature following community demand.
The service supports 96 partners, including Pi Network, local banks in the Philippines and international payment providers such as Apple Pay and PayPal.
Users choosing to pay with PI must first convert their tokens into OUSD. The resulting stablecoins can then be used for transfers, QR-code payments or transactions directed back toward a Pi Wallet.
Restoring the feature could increase PI’s practical utility by providing holders with additional ways to move and spend their assets.
However, OpenPay’s additional Know Your Customer requirements may raise privacy and accessibility concerns among some community members.
PI remains capped below $0.1000
PI traded around $0.0915 on Tuesday but remained below the $0.1000 psychological resistance level.
The price continues to move sideways above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.0836. This retracement is based on PI’s decline from $0.1341 to $0.0703.
The consolidation indicates that buyers are defending lower levels, although persistent selling pressure around $0.1000 continues to limit the recovery.
PI must record a confirmed breakout above $0.1000 to strengthen its bullish outlook. The 50% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.1022 reinforces this resistance, creating a significant supply zone between $0.1000 and $0.1022.
A decisive daily close above the area could encourage sidelined buyers to enter the market and extend PI’s recovery toward the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.1204.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator and its signal line are moving sideways slightly above the zero level on the daily chart.
This setup suggests that bullish momentum remains weak despite PI holding onto its recent gains.
The Relative Strength Index stands near 52, slightly above its neutral midpoint. Although the reading provides a mildly constructive signal, it does not indicate strong buying pressure.
Together, the indicators suggest that PI may continue consolidating unless buyers generate enough momentum to overcome the resistance around $0.1000.
The 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.0836 provides the most important immediate support.
A confirmed breakdown below this level could expose the swing low at $0.0703. Losing that support would weaken the current recovery structure and could push PI into a new price-discovery phase.
PI’s near-term direction will therefore depend on whether buyers can reclaim the $0.1000–$0.1022 resistance zone or sellers force a breakdown below $0.0836.
