Pi Network Price Jumps 21% in 24 Hours- Breakout After Key Upgrade Deadline
February 15, 2026 – Pi Network’s native token PI surged 21.4% in the last 24 hours, climbing to $0.1845, according to CoinMarketCap data. The rally was backed by a noticeable spike in trading activity, with daily volume crossing $7.7 million, while green candlesticks dominated the charts from late January lows.
The sharp move comes shortly after the v19.6 node upgrade deadline (February 12), a key milestone accelerating Pi Network’s roadmap toward its Open Mainnet launch in 2026, including expanded KYC verification and dApp integrations.
Technically, strong support at $0.10 held firm, paving the way for a breakout above the crucial $0.12–$0.16 resistance zone. Rising capital inflows and positive Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicate improving momentum. However, analysts note that overall volume- currently around $18.48 million– still trails the aggressive price movement, suggesting a possible short-term pullback.
Community enthusiasm is also building, fueled by recent hackathon wins and Gargoura ecosystem integrations, reinforcing Pi’s push toward real-world utility beyond its mining app.
Investors are now watching whether PI can sustain momentum above the $0.18 level or face consolidation after the rapid surge.
