5.6M Pi Tokens Released Today – Will It Cause Chaos or Calm the Storm?

by
  • 5.6 million Pi tokens are being unlocked today as part of the grand spectacle of a 1.56 billion token release over the year
  • Sentiment is currently in the dumps, thanks to roadmap confusion, and even the once-sturdy $0.60 support level seems to be shaking

Ah, the sweet anticipation of 5.6 million Pi Network tokens making their grand debut today. The question on every investor’s mind: Will this spark a dramatic rally, or will it unleash a frenzy of profit-taking as the masses rush to cash in? The market waits, breaths held, hearts pounding.

So far, the price has held on by a thread at the $0.60 support level, but don’t get too comfy. The next few hours are crucial. Investors, like tightrope walkers, are wondering whether to make their move or wait for the market to fall on its face. The community is bracing itself for chaos—volatility on steroids—and possibly, just maybe, a shift in the air.

The Token Unlock – What You Absolutely Should Know (Even if You Don’t Care)

Today’s 2.8 million Pi token release may look small, but trust me, it’s just the beginning. Throughout April 2025, Pi Network will unleash over 108.9 million tokens. Hold onto your hats, folks.

April marks the start of a non-stop token flood, with a staggering 1.56 billion tokens ready to hit the market over the coming year. That’s like opening the floodgates on a river of uncertainty and watching it drown the market.

Expect monthly unlocks to average a jaw-dropping 134.39 million tokens, reaching their peak in December 2027 with an eye-popping 432.3 million tokens unleashed upon the unsuspecting public.

But don’t get too comfortable. In May, June, and July, we’ll see 190.9 million, 226.6 million, and 233.4 million tokens released. Buckle up, because this supply pressure is going to test the patience—and perhaps the sanity—of investors.

The Aftermath of Past Unlocks – Spoiler: It’s Been a Mess

Pi Network’s previous token releases? Let’s just say the reactions have been… unpredictable, to say the least. Take the April 19 release of 7.8 million tokens, which sparked a 6% price increase—so far, so good. But then, on April 16, we saw the release of 2.8 million tokens, and the price promptly tanked by more than 2%. Talk about whiplash.

But wait, there’s more! The roadmap, which was supposed to guide us into a glorious Mainnet era, has instead left many with more questions than answers. Confusion reigns as vague timelines and unclear token visibility continue to stoke frustration among the “pioneers.” They’ve had enough. The impatience is palpable, and with every new release, the pressure builds.

What’s the Pi Price Going to Do? Guessing Game Time!

As of now, Pi Coin is dancing just above $0.63, having lost over 75% of its March gains. The RSI, hovering at 43.8, is playing it cool—neither oversold nor poised for a dramatic comeback. In other words, it’s in neutral territory. How thrilling.

Meanwhile, the OBV (On-Balance Volume, for the uninitiated) has been steadily sinking, currently at -13.66M, which signals that buying interest is waning. Imagine trying to float a sinking boat—yeah, that’s the Pi market right now.

Without strong volume support and with the market’s mood swinging from one extreme to the other, that $0.60 support level might just be the next casualty. If it breaks, don’t be surprised if we see a downward spiral—unless, of course, someone finds a miracle and restores some bullish enthusiasm. Not holding my breath here. 😅
