Pi Coin’s (PI) rally comes days after the team announced a series of significant upgrades. The team stated that the first upgrade will take place on Feb. 15, 2026. Investor sentiment may have got a boost from the upgrade announcement. Moreover, the team announced that more 16 million users have transitioned to the project’s mainnet. The large figure shows the a strong community within the PI ecosystem.

While the rally is commendable, it is unlikely that PI’s rally will continue, given the larger bearish market environment. Bitcoin (BTC) is on the verge of falling below $66,000, and other assets will likely follow BTC’s trajectory. BTC falling below $66,000 could trigger a market-wide downtrend. PI’s price could face a massive correction under such circumstances.

CoinCodex analysts also do not anticipate Pi Coin’s price rally to continue over the coming days. The platform predicts PI’s price to fall below the 10-cent mark, dipping to $0.09684 on Feb. 21. Falling to $0.09684 from current price levels will entail a correction of about 30.31%.
