Key takeaways<\/span><\/p>\n

PI has reclaimed the $0.1500 level after dropping below this critical area on Tuesday.<\/span><\/li>\n
The positive performance comes following the mainnet upgrade.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Pi Network has reversed its downward trend on Wednesday, climbing above the $0.1500 level following a major infrastructure upgrade to its mainnet nodes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
At press time, PI traded around $0.1518, extending recent losses while technical indicators hinted at the possibility of a short-term rebound.<\/span><\/p>\n
Pi Core team completes major mainnet upgrade<\/h2>\n
The Pi Core Team <\/span>announced<\/span> that major mainnet nodes have successfully upgraded to Stellar protocol version 23, reflecting the project\u2019s reliance on the Stellar blockchain infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n
The update also included several backend improvements, such as migrating the operating system from Ubuntu 20 to Ubuntu 24 and upgrading the database engine from PostgreSQL 12 to PostgreSQL 16.<\/span><\/p>\n
The latest upgrade is aimed at improving network performance, security, and long-term scalability as the ecosystem continues to evolve.<\/span><\/p>\n
PI price outlook: Technical indicators suggest a possible recovery<\/h2>\n
The PI\/USD 4-hour chart is still bearish and efficient as PI has underperformed over the past few days.<\/span><\/p>\n
The bearish performance comes despite the infrastructure progress. The token is currently trading below both the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) near $0.1605 and the 200-period EMA around $0.1709, maintaining a broader bearish outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n
However, momentum indicators suggest selling pressure may be weakening. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped to near 29, signaling oversold conditions while also forming a positive divergence as price approaches Tuesday\u2019s low of $0.1463.<\/span><\/p>\n
This type of divergence often points to a potential reversal or short-term bounce. If buying momentum increases, PI could attempt to retest a descending trendline resistance near $0.1519.<\/span><\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator remains flat below the zero line, indicating fading bearish momentum but not yet confirming a bullish recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A successful breakout above the $0.1519 resistance level could open the door for a stronger recovery toward the 50-EMA at $0.1605, followed by the 200-EMA near $0.1709.<\/span><\/p>\n
On the downside, the recent low at $0.1463 remains a critical support zone. A daily close below that level could invalidate rebound expectations and potentially trigger additional downside pressure for Pi Network.<\/span><\/p>\n
