This means the asset is now 23% higher than its all-time low of $0.1312, set on February 11. Despite this daily increase, PI remains deep in the red on almost all other scales, down nearly 95% from its all-time low recorded last February.<\/p>\n<p>If Captain Faibik&#8217;s 500% surge prediction is to come true, the token could be on its way to $1. However, that seems unlikely at the moment, given the overall market environment and PI&#8217;s inability to stage a longer, more profound recovery.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a big elephant in the Pi Network room for the next few weeks. The token unlock schedule from PiScan indicates that, on average, more than 7.2 million PI will be released daily over the next month, but the number will frequently exceed 13.5 million by February 25. The unlocks will ease in March, though.<\/p>\n<p>These large unlocking events are viewed as bearish, as they can increase immediate selling pressure from investors who have been waiting for their tokens for a long time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1428812\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1428812\" style=\"width: 1341px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-14-143948.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1428812 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-14-143948.png\" alt=\"Pi Token Unlock Schedule.
