Pi Network Price Outlook Weakens Despite AI App Studio Upgrade

Pi Network price remained under pressure on Friday as the broader crypto market consolidated after recent volatility. Pi Coin traded near $0.166 while investors closely monitored Bitcoin and Ethereum price action. Bitcoin hovered around the $80,000 level, while Ethereum stayed in the $2,300 range, reflecting cautious sentiment across the cryptocurrency market.

Despite the weak short-term trend, Pi Network introduced a major ecosystem upgrade aimed at developers and digital creators. The project announced an enhancement to Pi App Studio that allows developers to transform AI-generated applications into Pi-native apps accessible within the network. The new integration supports popular AI development platforms such as Codex, Replit, Claude Code, Cursor, and Lovable.

According to the Pi Core Team, the upgrade is designed to simplify app development and expand access to Pi Network’s ecosystem, which reportedly includes more than 60 million engaged users worldwide. By enabling external AI-created applications to integrate directly into the Pi ecosystem, the network hopes to accelerate innovation, increase utility, and encourage broader developer participation.

Even with the positive announcement, Pi Network price continues to face bearish pressure. The token recently slipped below the important $0.170 support zone and remains under the major resistance level near $0.180. Broader market uncertainty linked to regulatory developments surrounding the U.S. Senate Banking Committee and the Clarity Act of 2025 also contributed to weakness across digital assets.

Technical indicators suggest continued downside risk for Pi Coin. The MACD indicator stayed below the signal line on the 4-hour chart, while the Chaikin Money Flow indicator dropped near -0.22, signaling ongoing capital outflows.

If bearish momentum continues, Pi Network price could retest the $0.160 support level, with a potential decline toward $0.150. However, a recovery above $0.170 may allow bulls to target the $0.180 and eventually $0.190 resistance zones.
