Pi Network (PI) Keeps Struggling Under $0.10: 3 AIs Predict Its Maximum Price for 2026

Earlier this year, Pi Network’s native token surged to nearly $0.30 after Kraken allowed trading services with it. Since then, the asset has been in a steep downtrend and now trades around $0.09.

The big question is whether the price can rise above the $0.30 mark again before the end of 2026, or whether that was the maximum for this year. Here’s what three of the most widely used AI-powered chatbots think on the matter.

Mixed Predictions

According to ChatGPT, PI can exceed $0.30 and spike to as high as $0.60 sometime this year, but such a major increase will depend on vital catalysts rather than speculation alone. OpenAI’s platform suggested potential positive factors include listings on leading crypto exchanges or a broader altcoin rally.

PI began trading at the start of 2025 and is available for trading on platforms like Bitget, Kraken, OKX, and others. However, the industry’s heavyweights Binance and Coinbase have not yet embraced the token. Recall that the former asked its community whether they want to see PI on the exchange, and the vast majority answered “yes.”

In conclusion, the chatbot suggested that PI’s highest price in 2026 will most likely be around $0.35-$0.45, with $0.42 set as a specific estimate.

“A short-lived move toward $0.50 is plausible, but without a major listing or explosion in genuine usage, I don’t see it approaching $1,” it added.

Google’s Gemini took a similar stance, saying a pump above $0.30 and a new local peak of $0.36 are possible “under favorable market conditions.” According to it, the main drivers include mainnet ecosystem expansion, real-world utility adoption, and broader bullish momentum across the entire crypto sector.

Perplexity was much more pessimistic, claiming that a new rise above $0.30 before the end of the year is highly unlikely. At the same time, it assumed that a solid resurgence may still occur given the upcoming protocol 27, which is about to be implemented on September 15. However, the team has not always met its deadlines, so delays remain a possibility.

Sentiment Flips Bullish?

X user Crypto With Gopal recently opined that PI is printing a double-bottom formation, with buyers defending the 0.08-$0.09 support zone and the price slowly building higher lows.

He believes a breakout above the $0.10-$0.12 range could ignite the next rally, saying bulls have shown signs of reclaiming control.
