Pi Coin fell nearly 10% in early September, erasing gains following its U.S. listing and raising investor concerns about short-term supply pressure and liquidation.
September saw a decrease in unlocked Token , a network upgrade scheduled for September 3, and rumors of a major exchange listing — factors that could shape further price movements.
- Open interest decreased to around 161 million PI in September, reducing selling pressure compared to the previous month.
- Upgrade to Stellar protocol (version 19 → 23) is expected to improve network and smart contract features.
- Listing on major exchanges and Onramp Money channels can increase liquidation but the price effect can be short-lived.
Less supply to the market
September will see around 161 million PI unlocked, nearly half of August's unlock; this slows down the supply to the market compared to last month.
As Token issuance slows, short-term selling pressure may ease and allow prices to stabilize if demand does not wane. However, price stability depends on liquidation and new investor participation.
Upgrading Pi Network can strengthen the network
Pi Network is scheduled to upgrade to the new Stellar protocol (from version 19 to 23) on September 3, aiming to improve smart contract operations, node coordination, and overall network flexibility.
Technical upgrades typically do not directly change the Token supply, but can increase long-term trust and attract developers, contributing to the sustainability of the ecosystem if implemented effectively and without serious bugs.
Opportunity to increase price from listing and opening sales channels
Listings on major exchanges and direct trading channels like Onramp Money are expanding Pi accessibility to users in over 60 countries, and there is funding news and listings from several financial institutions.
Listings often create a surge in liquidation and can push prices up quickly, but the effect is usually short-lived if there is no sustained demand. The ease of buying and selling increases the opportunity for new players, but it is still important to monitor actual demand after listing.
Pi Coin Price Forecast September
Pi is currently trading in the USD0.3468–USD0.3577 range; RSI near 32.5 indicates oversold conditions, while price remains below the 50-day SMA, reflecting lingering bearish pressure.
If buying pressure returns, the technical target could be the USD0.42–USD0.45 zone. Conversely, strong selling could push the price below USD0.33 and test support around USD0.30; investors should manage risk and monitor real liquidation .
Why is Pi price decreasing?
The price drop was mainly due to supply pressure as more Token were unlocked combined with weak demand and listing news volatility; technical factors also pushed the price below the short-term Medium .
What does 161 million unlocked PI mean?
The decrease in unlocks compared to last month helps reduce short-term selling pressure, but the positive impact on price depends on the amount of offsetting demand for Token released to the market.
Is listing on a major exchange likely to increase prices in the long term?
Listings typically increase liquidation and create short-term price spikes; sustainability requires continuous trading demand and the development of a supporting ecosystem.
