Fan’s high-profile presence adds to the anticipation surrounding Pi Network’s future. The network secured Gold sponsorship status for the event last week, enhancing its visibility among investors and developers.

Prominent figures like members of the Trump family are also expected to attend the event.
Community reacts
While many community members welcomed this development, others remained skeptical, arguing that the project should prioritize strengthening its fundamentals. This comes as Pi price has been facing major downturns in recent times.

Pi Network is facing a serious dilemma! Has everyone noticed? Recently, the Pi testnet (see: Figure 1) is almost unused.

Meanwhile, PI exchange volumes are declining, liquidity is drying up, and governance participation remains low. These frustrations have resulted in a loss of $16 billion in the new crypto token’s market cap over the last six months.
Still, some analysts remain optimistic, forecasting a potential parabolic rally in the mid-term. At the time of writing, PI is trading around $0.346, showing no major movement over the past day.
Pi price outlook
On the daily PI price chart, the Bollinger Bands are narrowing with the price consolidating around the mid band (20-day SMA). This suggests low volatility and a potential breakout soon.
A close above the upper band near $0.35 could confirm bullish momentum, leading to $0.40 as the next target.

The RSI is indicating that PI is neither oversold nor overbought, leaving room for either direction. If the price breaks below the $0.32 support, bearish pressure could extend toward $0.30.
