Massive 500% PI peak prediction while Pi network leadership sends the core message

The PI token is among the notable gainers over the past 24 hours, rising well above its recent all-time low.

The underlying asset has finally shown notable signs of recovery, prompting one prominent analyst to buy PI and make bold price predictions.

“Add some PI”

Captain Faibik, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst with over 100,000 followers on X, made a rare call on Pi Network’s native token. In a recent tweet, Faibik outlined their expectation of 500% upside for PI, after explaining that they had added a portion of the token for the medium term.

PI has performed quite well over the past day, rising 10% to over $0.16. This means the assets are now 23% higher than the all-time low of $0.1312 set on February 11. Despite this daily increase, PI remains deep in the red on almost all other scales, down nearly 95% from its all-time low last February.

If Captain Faibik’s 500% rise prediction comes true, the token could be on its way to $1. However, that seems unlikely at this point given the overall market environment and PI’s inability to engineer a longer and deeper recovery.

There’s a big elephant in the Pi Network space in the coming weeks. PiScan’s token unlock schedule indicates that an average of more than 7.2 million PI will be released daily over the next month, but this number will often exceed 13.5 million by February 25. However, the unlocks will decrease in March.

Co-founder speaks out

The Pi Network core team did that was subjected to a thorough inspection the past few weeks. However, this didn’t stop them from announcing a new round of upgrades with a February 15 deadline for Mainnet nodes.

One of the co-founders of the project, Dr. Nocolas Kokkalis, also sent the same reminder to his more than 120,000 followers on X, claiming that the PI nodes are the “fourth role in the PI ecosystem.” He urged users to use the PI node on their laptop or desktop to validate transactions, strengthen network security and support global consensus and trust.
