Pi Network Faces Price Constraints Post-2026 Upgrade Despite Developer Toolkit Launch
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Price Constraints: Pi Network's current price hovers around $0.2085, and despite the major 2026 upgrade introducing a developer toolkit aimed at reducing integration time to under ten minutes, the market has yet to reflect significant price appreciation, indicating tight supply-demand dynamics in the near term.
- Developer Toolkit Launch: The newly launched combined Software Development Kit is designed to simplify payment and application integration, lowering entry barriers for developers, which lays a foundation for future application development; however, market reactions remain cautious regarding short-term price increases.
- Token Unlock Pressure: Nearly 95 million PI tokens, valued at approximately $20 million, are set to unlock in January, creating supply expansion that weighs on current liquidity and further dampens market sentiment.
- Significant Technical Resistance: PI continues to trade below all major exponential moving averages, with the 20-day EMA around $0.2089 forming strong technical resistance, and without reclaiming the $0.22 area, the goal of reaching $0.30 will be challenging.
