Pi Network (PI) edges higher by around 1% at press time on Friday, extending the 4.64% rise from Thursday, hinting at a bullish comeback with an Adam and Eve setup on the 4-hour chart.
Optimism around PI has revived somewhat after news that Pi Network has invested in AI robotics startup OpenMind. However, the community remains on edge following the recent circular from Pi Network that requests that Pi community members, commonly referred to as Pioneers, voluntarily address the rising misinformation on public forums without any apparent compensation.
OpenMind, a US-based AI robotics startup, officially announced $20 million investment raise backed by Pantera Capital. The investment will work towards creating a global network to improve coordination and communication between AI-powered androids. The project has been backed by multiple names, including the Pi Network’s core team.
This marks one of Pi Network's investment ventures following the $100 million commitment made on Pi2Day on June 28. However, there has been no official release from Pi Network regarding the exact amount of the investment.
Pioneers, users of the Pi Network, are on the edge with the recent circular requesting for volunteers to curb the spread of "misinformation" in the community. Jatin Gupta, a pioneer, said, “It's the project's job to do press conferences and invite media people to provide correct information,” in an X Post on Friday.
Furthermore, Gupta raised concerns about the lack of communication or marketing managers. Amid the rising chatter on the matter, Santiment shows that the social dominance score (Pi Network’s share in total crypto discussions) of Pi Network has risen to 0.23%, up from a weekly low of 0.18% on Wednesday.

However, the total weighted sentiment of Pi Network stood at a bearish -0.441 on Thursday, down from -0.28 on Wednesday.
Pi Network edges higher to the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.3699 on the 4-hour chart at press time on Friday. The short-term consolidation above $0.3334, which formed a weekly Adam and Eve pattern, was previously observed in early July on the same chart, resulting in a short-lived surge.
The current pattern’s upper ceiling is near $0.3700, and a decisive close above this level or the 50-period EMA could ignite a breakout rally. In such a case, the bulls could target the 100-period EMA at $0.3938.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) displays increasing bullish momentum as the average line and green histograms rise. Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows steady growth, reaching 59 on the 4-hour chart, indicating that buying pressure is holding up.

On the downside, if PI reverses from the upper ceiling at $0.3700, it could extend the decline to the weekly low of $0.3334.
Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, a virtual currency designed to serve as money. This form of payment cannot be controlled by any one person, group, or entity, which eliminates the need for third-party participation during financial transactions.
Altcoins are any cryptocurrency apart from Bitcoin, but some also regard Ethereum as a non-altcoin because it is from these two cryptocurrencies that forking happens. If this is true, then Litecoin is the first altcoin, forked from the Bitcoin protocol and, therefore, an “improved” version of it.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to have a stable price, with their value backed by a reserve of the asset it represents. To achieve this, the value of any one stablecoin is pegged to a commodity or financial instrument, such as the US Dollar (USD), with its supply regulated by an algorithm or demand. The main goal of stablecoins is to provide an on/off-ramp for investors willing to trade and invest in cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins also allow investors to store value since cryptocurrencies, in general, are subject to volatility.
Bitcoin dominance is the ratio of Bitcoin's market capitalization to the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies combined. It provides a clear picture of Bitcoin’s interest among investors. A high BTC dominance typically happens before and during a bull run, in which investors resort to investing in relatively stable and high market capitalization cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. A drop in BTC dominance usually means that investors are moving their capital and/or profits to altcoins in a quest for higher returns, which usually triggers an explosion of altcoin rallies.
