Pi Network community members are eyeing the Chainlink-Mastercard partnership as the next catalyst for adoption, boosting the long-term Pi coin price outlook with wider TradFi access.
In what appears to be a buy-the-rumour event, the altcoin has rebounded over 30% since the Tuesday announcement. However, Thursday trading has seen a 7% cooldown.
The general sentiment is that the “Swapper Finance” TradFi-to-DeFi bridge could be the missing link to mass adoption, allowing Mastercard cardholders to purchase crypto assets directly.
Given Pi Network’s past integration into Chainlink Data Streams, community members speculate it may be next in line for direct fiat access.
“Chainlink has officially supported the real-time data streaming service of $PI coins […] This is a big step for the ‘open financialization’ of Pi coins,” community member Pi Barter Mall wrote on X.
The Pi ecosystem continues to struggle with adoption. Its price action remains vulnerable to short-term speculative trading, lacking a meaningful use case to sustain long-term growth.
Integration into Chainlink Data Streams has already unlocked use cases like real-time DEX trading, lending platforms using Pi as collateral, and RWA tokenization on the Pi Network blockchain.
However, further inclusion with Mastercard could push Pi Network closer to its mission of financial inclusion and mainstream usability, strengthening its fundamentals beyond speculation.
While Chainlink integration and potential Mastercard inclusion are likely long-term market warming catalysts, they have opened the door for near-term gains.
The buy-the-rumour response affirmed the lower support of a falling wedge pattern forming since mid-May, pushing a breakout.
Although immediate momentum has stalled, leading to a retest of the wedge’s upper trendline as support, technical indicators suggest a continuation could be on the table.
The MACD has just formed a golden cross — surpassing the signal line for the first time since the pattern began — signaling the early stages of a potential short-term uptrend.
The RSI also shows bullish signs, rebounding from oversold territory above the 30 level. While it’s currently capped below neutral, its reading at 45 reflects strengthening buy pressure.
If momentum holds — and if the Chainlink tie-in boosts ecosystem activity — the breakout could drive a 40% move toward $0.80, in line with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement.
Zooming out, a confirmed Mastercard integration could pave the way for a broader push back to the previous PI coin price local high $1.30 with TradFi demand.
Still, traders should watch for a daily close below $0.54 to rule out a potential false breakout.
