It looked perfect on paper. A Kraken listing over the weekend. “Pi Day” on March 14.
Besides these, the Pi Network (PI) price had registered a fresh 28% surge, putting it outperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP.
Everything was in place for Pi Network to build on its momentum and push significantly higher into the new week.
Instead, the PI coin’s price has fallen by 25% over the last 7 days. Notably, it also failed to participate in Monday’s broader crypto market rally.
Why did this happen, and what could be next for the Pi Network price?
Ahead of the Kraken listing and Pi Day, the altcoin’s price rallied about 60%.
But at the time of writing, PI trades at $0.17. On the daily chart, the Pi Network price has given back nearly all of its gains.
The indicators reflect that reversal with precision. The MACD has printed a bearish crossover, as shown directly on the chart.
This is the mirror image of the bullish crossover that launched the rally in early February.
Furthermore, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has dropped to -0.04, indicating rising distribution.
In addition, the Supertrend at $0.24 is now well overhead in bearish mode as the price is trading beneath it for the first time since the golden cross on March 13.
Consequently, the levels that matter now are supports, not targets. The $0.16 floor (where the Kraken-driven move began) is the immediate test.

Below that, $0.13 is the next structural support. Reclaiming $0.22 on a daily close would be the first sign the sellers are exhausted, but as it stands, that seems unlikely.
Considering this outlook, it appears that the Kraken listing and “Pi Day” were a buy-the-rumour, sell-the-news dynamic.
By the time the event arrived, the market had already priced in the optimism around Pi Network.
Consequently, there were no new buyers left to push the price higher.
Going forward, the 4-hour chart adds a layer of nuance that changes the near-term picture, and it cuts both ways.
As seen below, the Pi Network price has printed a death cross. Here, the 20-EMA ($0.19) has crossed below the 50-EMA ($0.20).
This has confirmed that short-term momentum has definitively flipped negative following the Kraken/Pi Day catalyst reversal.
However, the RSI tells a competing story that demands equal attention.
The RSI line at 29.03 has dropped into oversold territory for the first time since the February lows.
The signal line at 33.57 is also deeply depressed. Crucially, the last time RSI reached these levels on this chart, PI’s price was near the bottom that launched the entire 60% rally.
Furthermore, the zero Fib at $0.15 is just below as support, at barely 10% from current levels.
That proximity means the downside risk is now defined and limited.

Conversely, reclaiming the 0.236 Fib at $0.19 would be the first signal of stabilisation, turning former support back into resistance that needs to be cleared.
The honest answer is yes. But it demands realistic expectations about the timeline. The Kraken listing’s fundamental value has not disappeared.
PI is still accessible through one of crypto’s most trusted and regulated exchanges.
However, the recovery path from a buy-the-rumour, sell-the-news event is typically slower than the initial rally that preceded it.
The next meaningful catalyst for Pi Network must be a development that the market has not already priced in.
That could take the form of an unexpected major exchange listing, a significant ecosystem announcement, or a broader altcoin market rally that lifts PI alongside its peers.
