Pi Coin is among the top-performing cryptocurrencies after a sharp price rise that began over the weekend, driven by a mainnet launch and upgrades on Feb. 15, 2026. Data from CoinGecko shows PI rose 5.1% in 24 hours, 40% over the last week, and 17.8% on the 14-day chart while outpacing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, and the team posted key upgrade details via an update from the PiCoreTeam.
Interest in PI followed a broader market inflow that briefly pushed Bitcoin to about $70,000 on Feb. 15 before it fell back near $67,000. (Ed. note: BTC weakness can trigger broader market pullbacks.)
Despite the rally, analysts at CoinCodex forecast a near-term correction, projecting PI could drop to about $0.13 by month-end, a decline near 31.5% from current levels.
Observers say short-term FOMO and a possible liquidity boost from household tax refunds could extend PI’s advance for weeks, though broader market momentum remains a key risk.
