Overview
- Trading picked up this week and PI rose about 10–12%, with price testing the $0.088–$0.090 resistance zone and intraday highs near $0.096 as buyers pushed the token higher.
- Fabric Foundation announced that Pi joined RoboPay so PI can be used to pay for robot services such as deliveries and inspections, but the integration’s real demand depends on RoboPay’s rollout and service scale.
- The Pi Core Team set an Aug. 11 deadline for Mainnet nodes to install Protocol 26, forcing operators to upgrade or risk disconnection and creating an immediate network participation event for the project.
- Market activity has increased, with reported 24‑hour volume rising into the low‑teens of millions and futures Open Interest climbing to roughly $8.5–$8.82 million, though Open Interest does not by itself show bullish conviction.
- Structural constraints remain: PI sits well below longer moving averages, faces concentrated supply and scheduled token unlocks that will add circulation, and analysts say a decisive daily close above ~$0.09 is needed before declaring a sustained trend reversal.
