Crypto Market in Flux: ADA Pulls Back, PI Struggles Below $0.10

Cardano's (ADA) price rally has paused due to profit-taking, trading below $0.220 on Monday after a 29% surge in the previous week. On-chain and derivatives data have turned slightly bearish as traders take profits following ADA's massive gains. The technical outlook remains bullish but momentum indicators suggest further upside is becoming increasingly stretched, raising the risk of a pause or consolidation ahead.

Pi Network (PI) trades in the red on Monday, easing after a gain of over 6% last week. The Pi Core Team released Protocol 27 on Pi Testnet on Saturday, opening the door to new smart contract authentication capabilities. However, the technical outlook for PI remains mixed as the price lacks momentum and remains capped below $0.1000.

Bitcoin (BTC) edges lower on Monday, following a 23% jump last week. Despite this, BTC maintains a strong bullish near-term bias as the price holds well above both the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $66,769 and the 200-day EMA at $72,636.
