Short-Term Spark or Last Gasp for PI: Breakout Brewing or Fade Into Market Weakness?

  • PI is trading within the $0.18 range.  
  • The daily trading volume hit $15.87M.

The brief uptick reflects the current recovery attempt, bringing a green wave, but it remains fleeting. With the fear sentiment across the crypto market, the asset’s price movement is swinging up and down. Also, a sudden fluctuation could push them into the red zone, allowing the bears to strengthen their hold. 

Meanwhile, the PI token has gained 4.98% in value over the last 24 hours. In the morning hours, the asset traded on the downside, at a low of $0.1778. With the brief bullish shift in the PI market, the price has been sent to a high of $0.1892. Currently, it is trading at $0.1871, and its trading volume has reached $15.87 million.

PI’s ongoing negative sentiment could trigger more losses, and the price is likely to slip toward the support at around $0.1850. A deeper bearish correction might invite the death cross to form, and the bears would push the price even lower, below the $0.1829 range. 

Assuming the vanished bulls re-enter and take control, the PI price might rise toward the $0.1892 resistance. If the level is cleared, the bullish pressure would strengthen further, potentially triggering the golden cross to emerge, and moving up above $0.1913. 

Technical Indicators Point to Sluggish Momentum for PI

When both the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the signal lines are positioned below the zero line. It is clear that the bears are dominant in the market. The asset is trading below its longer-term average, and unless the lines start moving back and cross upward, the downside pressure may continue.

Besides, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator of PI is located at 0.00, which implies a neutral to slightly bearish momentum. The money inflows and outflows are nearly balanced, showing no pressure at the moment. Notably, the market is likely consolidating and is waiting for a clearer directional trigger to move.

The Bull-Bear Power (BBP) value of 0.0021 indicates a very weak bullish pressure. The buyer strength is minimal, showing limited momentum, with the market remaining fragile. It could easily shift if selling pressure picks up. Moreover, PI’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) found at 43.91 suggests the neutral to slightly weak territory. It is not yet oversold, but a cautionary zone, where the asset’s price could either stabilise or continue to move downward.

China’s Ban on Nvidia Chips for State Firms Sends Stock Tumbling

The post China’s Ban on Nvidia Chips for State Firms Sends Stock Tumbling appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has instructed big companies to stop purchasing and cancel existing orders for Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D chip The ban is part of China’s ongoing effort to reduce dependency on US-made AI hardware, especially after restrictive US export rules After the news, Nvidia shares dropped in premarket trading by about 1.5% Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has instructed big companies like Alibaba and ByteDance to stop purchasing and cancel existing orders for Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D chip. The ban is part of China’s ongoing effort to reduce dependency on US-made AI hardware, especially after restrictive US export rules. The RTX Pro 6000D was tailored for China to comply with some export rules, but now the regulator says even that chip is off-limits. After the news, Nvidia shares dropped in premarket trading (around 1.5%), reflecting investors’ concerns about reduced demand in one of the biggest markets. This isn’t the first time China has done something like this. For instance, in August, the country urged firms not to use Nvidia’s H20 chip due to potential security issues and the need to comply with international export control regulations. Meanwhile, Alibaba and Baidu have begun using domestically produced AI chips more heavily, which shows that China is seriously investing in building its own chip-making capacity. Additionally, a few days ago, Chinese regulators opened an antitrust review into Nvidia’s Mellanox acquisition, suggesting the company may have broken some of the promises it made to get the 2020 deal passed. From AI to blockchain and the possible effects of China’s ban The banning of Nvidia chips represents a rather notable escalation in the technological rivalry between the United States and China. Beyond tariffs or export bans, China is now proactively telling its firms to avoid even “compliant” US chips and instead shift…
