Pi's 35% Plunge: Squeeze Momentum Goes Full Bear, MFI Just Watches

Pi Network is currently stuck in the $0.20 trench as of March 21, 2026, trying to recover from a brutal 35.74% haircut that began March 13 after hitting a local peak near $0.2700. The daily attempt to rally is a pathetic 4.43% gain – hardly a victory march – and the technical indicators are basically giving it a sarcastic thumbs-down.

Squeeze Momentum is screaming 'sell'. The indicator is parked at -0.0241, its most negative reading since September 2025. The histogram bars are a deep, committed red and still diving, which means bearish pressure is doing a victory lap, not taking a breather. Those ominous black dots above the zero line on the squeeze band confirm the squeeze has officially fired its bearish cannon. Until SQZMOM crawls back above zero, any attempt at a price pump will likely be treated as a free lunch for sellers.

The Money Flow Index is playing the neutral spectator. MFI peaked above 84 on March 11-12, basically waving an "overbought" flag right before the rug-pull-style dump. It now lounges at 42.34, squarely in the "I have no strong feelings one way or the other" zone between the 20 (oversold) and 80 (overbought) lines. The drop from 84 to 42.34 in about ten days shows buyer pressure vanishing faster than a degen's profits, but this neutral reading isn't handing out any buy signals either. A slide toward 20 might hint at genuine oversold conditions and potentially attract some fresh, desperate capital, but this rapid unwind suggests outflows are still heavier than a Bitcoin maximalist's ego.

Price action and Fibonacci levels are the current battlefield. Pi is trading near $0.1992 after that 35.74% face-plant (a -0.0971 move from the March 13 high). Fibonacci retracements drawn from the February low of $0.1600 to the March peak of $0.2700 place the token just above the 0.786 level at $0.1907 – the last line of defense. A daily close below $0.1907 would open the gates to the 0.618 tier at $0.1779, and further down to the 0.382 level around $0.1600, the swing low and the current structure's ultimate floor.

For the upside dreamers, a sustained close above the 1.0 Fib at $0.2070 would be the first sign the correction might be over. Resistance waits at $0.2250 (1.236) and $0.2668 (1.786); bulls would need to reclaim those to officially euthanize the bearish narrative. The Kraken listing on March 13 coincided perfectly with the price peak – classic crypto timing – and the Protocol 20 upgrade offered only a modest bounce amid broader macro headwinds. If newly liquid holders continue their selling spree, $0.1907 may crumble like a poorly coded smart contract. On the flip side, a confirmed bounce above $0.2070, coupled with an MFI that actually improves, would be the clearest sign that Pi's recovery might have more than two legs.
