Pi Coin (Pi Network/PI) is currently among the best-performing cryptocurrencies in the market. According to CoinGecko data, PI’s price has surged 5.1% in the last 24 hours, 40% in the last week, and 17.8% on the 14-day charts. PI is currently outperforming industry heavyweights such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, etc. Let’s discuss why Pi Coin is dominating the crypto market right now, and if the price rally can continue.
What’s Behind Pi Coin Latest Price Rally?
Pi Coin experienced its first leg up over the last weekend when the crypto market saw increased inflows. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly reclaimed the $70,000 price level on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, but has since dippepd to the $67,000 price level.
However, the primary reason for Pi Coin’s rally is likely due to its mainnet launch and key upgrades that began on Feb. 15, 2026. The project aims to head towards more decentralization. The upgrades may have led to a spike in demand for PI.
While Pi Coin’s rally is commendable, there is a high chance that the asset will face a correction soon. Bitcoin (BTC), the market leader, is struggling to gain momentum. BTC being bearish often triggers market-wide dips. PI’s rally may fade out over the coming days.
Nonetheless, there is a possibility that Pi Coin will sustain its rally for atleast a few weeks, as investors experience FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Moreover, we may see a liquidity spike as billions of dollars in tax refunds return to household accounts. A portion of the funds could make their into the crypto market.

CoinCodex analysts are also not sold on Pi Coin’s ability to sustain its price rally, painting a bearish picture over the next few weeks. The platform anticipates PI’s price to dip to $0.13 by the end of this month. Hitting $0.13 from current price levels would entail a correction of about 31.5%.
