Pi Network’s PI token has fallen 11% to record a new all-time low, with selling pressure intensifying as the market braces for an upcoming unlock of 130 million tokens.
PI sinks to a new all-time low after an 11% slide
PI’s 11% single-day decline pushed the token to its lowest price since it began trading on open markets. Unlike an ordinary pullback, a fresh all-time low signals that no prior buyer remains in profit, removing a key psychological support level that typically attracts dip-buying.

The drop extends a pattern of weakening momentum for the project. Pi Network recently announced two updates even as PI was already setting previous all-time lows, suggesting that project developments alone have not been enough to stem the selling.

With buyers absent at every prior price level, the token now trades in uncharted territory to the downside, leaving traders without historical support zones to reference. For related coverage, see Altcoin Trader Stampede Begins: APEMARS Hits $500K Raised With LAUNCH350 Among 9 Best 100x Coins Race.
Why the 130 million token unlock is weighing on PI
A looming unlock of 130 million PI tokens is the primary overhang driving the selloff. Token unlocks expand circulating supply, and when demand is already weak, the prospect of additional tokens entering the market can accelerate selling ahead of the actual event.

Markets often price in dilution risk before unlock dates arrive. Traders expecting recipients to sell their newly unlocked tokens may front-run that pressure, creating a self-reinforcing decline even before the new supply hits exchanges.
What traders should watch next for PI
The near-term outlook hinges on whether the market can absorb the expected supply increase. If the unlock triggers a wave of selling into an already thin order book, PI could extend losses further below its current floor.
Sentiment is fragile after a new all-time low. Traders typically monitor volume and whether a capitulation spike emerges, which can signal that sellers are exhausting. Without that signal, the path of least resistance remains lower.
The pending unlock remains the central catalyst. How PI reacts once those 130 million tokens enter circulation will determine whether this marks a washout bottom or the start of a deeper decline.
