The cryptocurrency market saw heightened volatility over the weekend as investors assessed rising crude oil prices and awaited the Federal Reserve’s upcoming decision on interest rates. Bitcoin and Ethereum prices moved to $77,000 and $2,500, respectively, while the popular Crypto Fear and Greed Index reached 68. Against this backdrop, analysts offered price forecasts for key projects: Pi Network (PI), Pepe Coin (PEPE), and Zcash (ZEC).
Pi Network, known for aiming to establish a mobile-first, user-friendly cryptocurrency accessible to the masses, has recently attracted attention as PI coin rose from $0.0715 in July to $0.097 in anticipation of the upcoming V27 upgrade. This major upgrade promises enhanced smart contract functionality for the growing ecosystem.
Despite the recent rally, technical indicators suggest PI may face a bearish shift. The price has formed a rising wedge pattern—commonly seen as a sign of potential reversal. This formation consists of two ascending, converging trend lines, often signaling a downward move when they meet. Additionally, PI trades below its 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates bearish divergence.
If these bearish signals materialize, PI could decline toward its year-to-date low of $0.07156. However, a decisive move above the resistance level at $0.1110 would invalidate this scenario and open the door to further gains.
Technical analysis indicates Pi Network could risk a drop to $0.07156 unless it breaks decisively above the $0.1110 resistance.
Mini dictionary: Rising wedge — A chart pattern characterized by converging upward-sloping trend lines, typically signaling a possible bearish reversal when the price closes below the lower trend line.
Pepe Coin, a meme token popular for its viral community engagement, climbed from $0.0000022 in July to a peak of $0.000004547 in August as the entire crypto market rallied. More recently, the price has eased to $0.000003478, forming a falling wedge chart pattern, a structure often associated with a bullish trend reversal.
This falling wedge, consisting of two descending and converging trendlines, typically signals a potential breakout to the upside. The current setup suggests Pepe Coin could rally toward the resistance level at $0.0000040 if buyers return. Should the price fall below the lower limit of the wedge, the bullish case would be negated.
Pepe Coin’s falling wedge pattern may pave the way for a breakout to $0.0000040, provided key support holds.

Zcash, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that allows users to shield their transaction details, has seen robust performance this year. The token jumped from a low of $188 in January to an all-time high of $1,288, boosted by increasing interest in privacy coins and heightened demand for the Grayscale Zcash ETF (ticker: ZCSH).
ZEC has surpassed key resistance at $747, reinforcing the bullish outlook. The coin currently trades above its 50-day and 100-day moving averages, signaling underlying strength. However, the Relative Strength Index has cooled from an overbought reading of 87 to 64, forming a double-top pattern that suggests fading momentum.
Looking ahead, Zcash may retreat toward support at $1,000. The bearish momentum would be reversed if the price climbs past its $1,288 year-to-date high.
