In terms of fundamentals, Pi Network’smarket cap currently stands at $3.74 billion, with afully diluted valuation of $5.8 billion.

Crypto Market Experiences a Crazy Sell-Off

As news of the airstrikes spread, Bitcoin , Ethereum , and other leading cryptocurrencies experienced a massive sell-off, with market value evaporating within hours.

Many bullish positions were liquidated as traders hurriedly pulled out of risky assets, fearing further potential escalation.

Pi Network’s Pi Coin price plummeted by 11% on June 22, nearing an all-time low. Now on June 23, Pi is trading at $0.5037, leaving many holders worried about the future of the coin.

This latest drop comes after a difficult few weeks for Pi Coin, where its price has already fallen more than 30% during the month of June alone.

Why Pi Coin’s Price Continues to Fall

One of the main causes of Pi Network’s downfall has been the massive release (token unlock) of 263 million Pi tokens this month, worth approximately $143 million. This significant surge in supply has added selling pressure and pushed the price downwards.

According to Coinpedia, technical indicators suggest that Pi may be approaching oversold territory, which is a condition where prices usually have a chance to recover. In addition, June 28 – known as 2 Pi Day among the Pi community – is just a few days away.

Historically, the project often makes major announcements around this date, and many expect updates, partnerships, or new features to stir up market sentiment.

However, analyst Dr. Altcoin shared via social media, “Pi is now officially in the $0.4 range, and I expect it to remain at that level until the end of August. Pi Day 2 will most likely not have any impact.”
