Will Pi Coin Crash After Mainnet Launch Today? Price Trends Revealed
Pi Network's mainnet launch is imminent, but the Pi coin's price has already plummeted 55% to around $30.
Early Pi miners, who acquired tokens cheaply, may sell upon mainnet launch to realize profits.
Technical indicators (RSI, key support levels) and historical trends of airdropped cryptocurrencies suggest Pi's price may continue to decline.
After seven years of development, Pi Network’s Tap-to-Earn mainnet is finally set to launch today at 8 AM UTC. However, concerns are rising as Pi Coin has already plunged 55%, now trading around $30. This sudden drop has sparked fears that the launch could lead to even more losses.
Early Miners Could Trigger a Sell-Off
One of the biggest risks for Pi Coin comes from early miners. These users have collected large amounts of Pi at little to no cost and may see the mainnet launch as their first real chance to cash out.
Many of them might sell a portion of their tokens to secure profits, especially if they expect prices to drop after the initial hype.
If a large number of early miners sell at the same time, it could flood the market with supply, pushing prices down further as demand struggles to keep up.
Market Trends and Technical Indicators
Following the official announcement of the mainnet launch, the price of the Pi token jumped by almost 90%, climbing from $49 to $92. But this rise didn’t last long, as prices have fallen sharply since then.
Warning Signs to Watch
Technical indicators suggest Pi’s price could fall further. The token recently dropped below a key support level at $40, which had previously helped stabilize prices.
Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI)—a key measure of whether an asset is overbought or oversold—recently hit the overbought zone for Pi. Cryptos that reach this level often see a sharp price reversal, and Pi’s RSI has already fallen in the past 24 hours. This signals more potential downside ahead.
Airdropped Cryptos Often Struggle – Will Pi Follow?
Cryptocurrencies launched through airdrops often see major price drops. When tokens are given out for free or at low cost, many holders sell as soon as trading begins, leading to a flood of supply and a falling price.
Pi Network could follow this pattern, with too many tokens hitting the market and dragging prices lower.
Pi Price Hints Major Lose Ahead
As of now PI, I owe you (IOU), price has seen a sharp decline, now trading at $32 after dropping 57% in just 24 hours. This crash happened after the token failed to stay above the $50 support level.
With the upcoming mainnet launch, uncertainty is growing, and Pi’s price could face more downward pressure. While it is still holding above $30, breaking below this level might trigger a further drop to $17.
If that happens, investors who have been holding Pi in recent weeks could face even bigger losses.
Pi’s price swings have kept investors on edge, but the real test begins now as the mainnet goes live.
