Pi Network (PI) is trading around $0.2088 against the US dollar as of 10:39am (UTC) on 8 January 2026, within an intraday range between the session low of $0.2066 and the high of $0.2127 on Capital.com’s cryptocurrency CFD feed. This places the price roughly mid-range, indicating relatively contained price movement so far in the current session. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Recent trading comes amid broader interest in Pi Network as the project prepares for a scheduled unlock of about 134 million PI tokens in January 2026, following an earlier 8.7 million token unlock in December (Coinfomania, 1 January 2026). At the same time, the wider crypto market has started 2026 with Bitcoin trading above $90,000, helping lift overall digital-asset market capitalisation back above $3 trillion (AInvest, 4 January 2026).

Pi Network price prediction 2026-2030: Third-party targets

As of 8 January 2026, third-party Pi coin price predictions for 2026 and beyond show a wide dispersion, with various sources publishing both conservative trading-range scenarios and more optimistic longer-term paths based on technical and fundamental assumptions. These projections are speculative and reflect each provider’s own methodologies, which often combine historical price data, volatility measures and assumptions about project development, liquidity and broader crypto-market condition.

CoinCodex (quantitative and technical model)

CoinCodex forecasts that Pi Network could trade between roughly $0.1437 and $0.5715 in 2026, with shorter-term signals pointing to a near-term move toward about $0.1566 by early February. The platform cites a bearish technical setup, a Fear & Greed Index reading around 'fear,' and pivot-point levels as inputs into its model-driven forecasts (CoinCodex, 8 January 2026).

CoinGape (multi-horizon scenario)

CoinGape’s 2026 Pi coin price prediction outlines minimum, average and maximum reference levels, including an indicative lower range near $0.2047, alongside higher out-year scenarios based on its blend of technical patterns and adoption assumptions. The publication notes that its projections rely on chart-based signals and expectations around ecosystem development, while acknowledging that Pi’s price path could remain volatile over longer horizons (CoinGape, 6 January 2026).​

Gate.io (exchange research view)

Gate.io’s Pi price prediction estimates that Pi Network could see an average price around $0.2082 in 2026, with a potential trading band between roughly $0.1582 and $0.2706, placing current prices close to its assumed central case. The platform notes that these figures are derived from internal models incorporating historical trading data and broader crypto-market conditions, rather than implying any guarantee of performance (Gate.com, 8 January 2026)..​

FXStreet (technical commentary)

FXStreet’s technical note highlights the $0.20 area as a key support level for Pi Network heading into the new year, discussing a possible rebound pattern from that zone rather than setting a fixed 2026 year-end target. The analysis references chart formations, momentum indicators such as RSI and MACD, and recent trading activity above $0.20 as the basis for its cautious technical perspective on potential future moves (FXStreet, 31 December 2025).

Third-party predictions are frequently inaccurate, as they cannot account for unforeseen developments, and should not be relied upon as a definitive guide to future performance.

PI price: Technical outlook

Pi Network (PI/USD) is holding near $0.2088 as of 10:39am on 8 January 2026 (UTC), with price trading close to the 10–30 day moving-average cluster and below longer-term trend gauges. On simple moving averages, the 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day SMAs sit around 0.2068, 0.2187, 0.2233 and 0.3109 respectively. The corresponding 20- and 50-day EMAs at 0.2090 and 0.2165 sit slightly above their SMAs, while the 200-day EMA near 0.3750 continues to mark a higher long-term reference level. The 14-day RSI is around 46.5, placing it in neutral territory, while the ADX near 13.7 suggests a weak underlying trend rather than a strong directional move.

On the upside, the nearest classic resistance sits at R1 around 0.2306, with R2 near 0.2579 coming into focus only following a sustained daily close above the first pivot area. On pullbacks, the classic pivot at 0.2118 acts as an initial support reference, followed by S1 near 0.1845 if that level fails on a closing basis. Holding above the broader 50–100 day moving-average band keeps attention on nearby resistance, while a sustained move below it could reopen the lower pivot zone (TradingView, 8 January 2026).

Pi Network price history

Pi Network’s PI token has experienced a volatile two-year period, with price action ranging from sharp mid-year spikes to a quieter end to 2025. PI traded above $0.45 for much of July 2025 and briefly moved beyond $0.52 on 22 July before easing lower into the autumn, reaching around $0.27–$0.29 by late September and early October amid wider intraday ranges.

The market then shifted into a more persistent downtrend. PI closed near $0.25–$0.28 through late October and November 2025 before slipping towards the low-$0.20s in December. By 31 December 2025, PI had settled at $0.2045. As of 8 January 2026, it was trading around $0.2087, leaving it modestly above the year-end level but well below the mid-2025 highs.

Pi Network: Capital.com analysis

Pi Network has entered 2026 trading in a relatively tight range around the $0.20 level on Capital.com’s feed, following a more volatile second half of 2025 marked by sharp swings and wide intraday ranges. Recent price action reflects a balance between speculative interest and consolidation phases, with movements appearing increasingly sensitive to project-specific developments rather than broad market momentum alone.

A key near-term consideration remains the scheduled January 2026 token unlock of around 134 million PI. Several third-party sources note that this could increase circulating supply and, if selling pressure outweighs new demand, weigh on spot prices. An alternative perspective is that a predictable unlock schedule, alongside signs of ecosystem development and protocol upgrades, could help normalise issuance over time if liquidity and usage expand in parallel.

Broader market conditions also play a role: while strength in Bitcoin and the wider crypto market can support interest in smaller tokens such as PI, shifts towards risk aversion or setbacks related to listings, regulation or real-world adoption could quickly alter sentiment.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

FAQ

What is the Pi Network price prediction?

Pi Network price projections from analysts and data providers vary widely and are typically presented as indicative scenarios rather than firm outcomes. Short-term model-based forecasts often cluster close to current market levels, while some longer-term projections outline higher ranges based on assumed adoption or ecosystem development. All estimates remain subject to significant uncertainty, particularly given factors such as token unlock schedules, liquidity conditions and broader cryptocurrency market volatility.

Who owns the most Pi Network?

Detailed, independently verified data on the largest individual Pi Network token holders is not publicly available in the same way as for many fully open blockchain networks. A substantial proportion of tokens is understood to be held within the project’s ecosystem, including allocations linked to development, rewards and future distribution. As the network continues to evolve, greater transparency around ownership concentration and effective circulating supply may emerge over time.

How many Pi Network coins are there?

Pi Network operates under a maximum supply framework that includes both circulating tokens and coins allocated for future release, such as mining rewards and ecosystem incentives. However, not all tokens are currently available to the market, as phased unlocks and network conditions influence circulation. Scheduled token releases, including planned unlocks in 2026, can affect circulating supply over time, with potential implications for liquidity and price behaviour in secondary markets.

Could Pi Network’s price go up or down?

Pi Network’s price could move higher or lower depending on a range of factors, including token unlocks, changes in circulating supply, ecosystem development, regulatory developments and overall cryptocurrency market sentiment. Broader market conditions, such as movements in Bitcoin, can also influence smaller digital assets. As with other cryptocurrencies, price movements can be volatile and may occur in either direction over short periods.

Should I invest in Pi Network?

Deciding whether to invest in Pi Network depends on your individual circumstances, financial situation and risk tolerance. Cryptocurrencies are volatile assets, and prices can move sharply in response to market, regulatory or project-specific developments. This information is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

Can I trade Pi Network CFDs on Capital.com?

On Capital.com, you can trade PI/USD CFDs to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset and to take long or short positions. However, contracts for difference (CFDs) are traded on margin, and leverage amplifies both profits and losses. You should ensure you understand how CFD trading works, assess your risk tolerance, and recognise that losses can occur quickly.
