Pi coin surges 80% breaking previous all-time high amid Binance listing rumours

Pi coin has surged nearly 80% in the past 24 hours and reaching a new all-time high of $2.99. Pi Network’s ( PI ) surge coincides with a huge increase in 24-hour trading volume, which has surpassed $3.2 billion, according to data from the crypto.news price tracker. The token is currently sitting at $2.95 after earlier trading as low as $1.65 in the same 24-hour period. The spike contradicts the ongoing decline in the broader cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin having fallen below $85,000. On the technical side, PI is showing a neutral to slightly bullish bias. The 5-minute chart shows price action fluctuating around the 9-EMA, which is acting as both support and resistance. The RSI (14) at 55.60 suggests neutral momentum, with neither overbought nor oversold conditions. Pi Network chart.

Holding above the 9-EMA could push PI toward $2.95–$3.00, while a drop below $2.90 may shift momentum to bearish.
