The PI price prediction turns more cautious to start the week, giving back a chunk of last Saturday’s breakout as price slips below both the 20-day EMA and the trendline that had briefly turned bullish. The pullback comes even as Pi Network added a new real-world utility angle through a fresh robotics payment partnership.
PI broke above its descending trendline from April’s high last week, spiking to $0.11060 before settling near $0.091 on Saturday. That strength has since faded. Price opened Monday’s session at $0.09000 and slid to a low of $0.08818 before recovering slightly to close near $0.08838, a decline of 2.41% that puts price back below both the trendline and the 20-day EMA at $0.08920.
The Bollinger Bands show the middle band at $0.09434 and lower band at $0.08447, with price now trading in the lower half of that range rather than testing the upper band the way it did during Saturday’s spike. The 50-day EMA at $0.09464 and 100-day EMA at $0.11107 sit well above current price and remain firm resistance. The 200-day EMA at $0.15224 is the larger structural level PI would need to reclaim for any real trend change.
Whether last week’s breakout holds now depends on whether PI can reclaim the $0.089 to $0.094 zone in the coming sessions. A failure to do so would suggest the trendline break was a false signal rather than a genuine shift in trend.

Pi Network confirmed that Protocol 27 has moved to testnet following the successful completion of Protocol 26 on mainnet. The upgrade introduces more flexible and secure smart contract authentication, giving accounts and applications more advanced ways to authorize transactions. Pi Network set a target date of September 15, 2026 for the mainnet rollout.
Pi Network has joined RoboPay, a robot payment system built by Fabric Foundation, as a payment partner. Once live, Pi holders would be able to use their tokens to pay for real-world robot services like deliveries, security patrols, or inspections, buying the outcome rather than owning the machine.
This builds on Pi Network Ventures’ earlier investment in OpenMind, the company behind RoboPay’s underlying protocol, made back in October 2025. Fabric Foundation is also running a developer bounty program to grow the ecosystem, with submissions that closed August 21, 2026.
This is a utility announcement, not an immediate price catalyst, since the actual robot services aren’t live for the public yet.
PI reclaims the $0.08920 to $0.09434 zone on a daily close, putting last week’s trendline breakout back in play rather than confirming it as a failed move. Continued attention around the RoboPay partnership and steady progress on Protocol 27 heading into its September 15 target help sentiment. A confirmed reclaim would open the path toward the 50-day EMA at $0.09464.
PI fails to reclaim the 20-day EMA and last week’s spike gets fully unwound, confirming the trendline breakout as a false signal. The RoboPay news fails to translate into renewed buying since the actual services remain unavailable to the public, and price slides back toward the lower Bollinger Band at $0.08447, retesting the base of its recent range near $0.078 to $0.085.
