PI rose 2.6% over 24 hours to about $0.0934 as traders positioned ahead of Pi Network’s expected Protocol 27 upgrade on September 15. CoinGecko listed PI at $0.09337, with the token up 4% over seven days, 8.4% over two weeks and 13.7% over a month, although it remained down more than 72% over the past year. The move extended a gradual recovery from $0.0892 on August 25. Pi Network completed Protocol 26 across 421,000 nodes on August 11, 2026, while Protocol 27 remains on testnet and is expected to improve smart-contract functionality and authentication. Development around decentralized-exchange and automated-market-maker infrastructure has added to expectations for more applications on the network. Pi Network also added OpenClaw and Atlassian MCP Server to SoloHost on Pi Desktop, and OpenPay restored its Cash-In feature, although payments still require PI to be converted into OUSD. Technically, PI faces resistance around $0.095-$0.096 and the daily Supertrend at $0.09891, while $0.09198 and $0.08304 are important support levels.
