Good times ahead pic.twitter.com/qZ9PSzGNSr — Varangian Observer (@Varangian_CC) June 25, 2025 This year’s event carries particular significance as the community expects major announcements that could further accelerate adoption. The most anticipated development involves the release of an enhanced Know Your Customer (KYC) synchronization feature. This update will establish connectivity between the Pi Browser and the main Pi App, enabling users to consolidate identity verification data across platforms. Through this streamlined process, millions of users currently experiencing “pending” or “tentative” KYC status may finally complete their migration to the open Mainnet. Successful migration unlocks essential features, including wallet functionality and transferring Pi tokens to the live blockchain network. Additionally, over 100 days have elapsed since the Open Mainnet launch , so community members anticipate announcements regarding new applications and developer tools. Any demonstration of practical utility could shift market perception from speculative mining activity toward legitimate use case adoption.

The breakout invalidates the previous bearish structure and opens the door for a sustained uptrend. Key upside targets include the $0.9624 and $1.0486 levels, both of which represent former demand zones and likely resistance. Source: Bullcrypto on TradingView The next significant resistance level lies near the psychological $1 mark, which coincides with the top of the highlighted green supply zone. With momentum clearly favoring bulls post-breakout, the near-term outlook remains bullish. If the price can hold above the broken wedge structure, a continuation toward the $0.90- $1.05 region appears likely.
