Retail Buys 260K PI as Smart Money Stays Out

Retail investors withdrew about 260,000 PI from centralized exchanges in the past 24 hours as Pi coin (PI) traded near $0.128. The token is roughly 10% lower than a week ago after bouncing off an all-time low of $0.118.

The net outflow figure comes from centralized exchange wallet data and is consistent with transfers to private custody typically associated with retail accumulation.

Social engagement for PI mentions across monitored channels has fallen to roughly 1, near a six-month low from a peak near 51 in early March.

PI’s one-year correlation with Bitcoin is about 0.40.

Key price levels identified by market watchers include a daily close above $0.137 as an initial threshold and the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement at $0.168. A move below $0.118 would record a fresh all-time low.
