Pi Network Coin rose 13% to $1.68 on Thursday, partially recovering from recent losses. However, the cryptocurrency remains down 44% from its all-time high of $2.98, underscoring ongoing volatility in the broader crypto market.

The crypto market rebounded strongly, with Bitcoin surging to $84,000 and XRP rising 4%, while Ethereum, BNB, and Solana also posted notable gains.

The recovery follows a sharp sell-off earlier in the week, driven by macroeconomic uncertainties and investor concerns over US President Donald Trump's tariff policies. Bitcoin had slipped below $77,000, reaching a four-month low before bouncing back as investor sentiment improved.

"Bitcoin has demonstrated resilience, surging over 2% despite market challenges. This comes after a lower-than-expected U.S. CPI report, which typically supports bullish sentiment. However, trade tensions have tempered enthusiasm," said Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin.

Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, noted, "Bitcoin is trading between $80,000 and $84,000 as trade tensions escalate. While softer CPI data initially drove a rally, the EU’s counter-tariff announcement triggered profit booking. Investors should monitor the US’s response as it could bring further volatility."

Despite gains, Pi Coin remains 44% below its peak, reflecting continued market volatility. However, some analysts see long-term potential if adoption increases and major exchanges list the token. OKX has announced plans to enable Pi Coin trading, provided the network meets listing criteria and completes a successful transition to Open Mainnet.

For Pi Coin to reach higher valuations, market watchers emphasize the need for strong demand, increased liquidity, and broader real-world adoption. Regulatory clarity and institutional interest will also be key factors in determining its future trajectory.
