PI price has been consolidating in a big range between $40 and $80 since 2021. On 27 Dec 2021, the price hit a high of $94 before retracing. It slowly drifted down to test the support of $40 over several months until 12 May 2022. The price quickly bounced up from the support and rallied. In fact, the Wyckoff sign of strength (SOS) rally started in mid-June 2022 to attempt a breakout of $94. Consistency of high volume together with widespread bars and gap-up price action suggests the presence of demand.

The reaction from the August breakout was a shallow pullback and grind down to around $73.50. The price continued on with another SOS rally and gap up on 27 Oct with earning results as a catalyst. 

The price then ranges between $102 and $130 in a Wyckoff backup (BU) phase. The SOS rally that began on 5 Jan 2023 attempted to break the resistance of $130 but was unsuccessful. Nevertheless, the price was able to stay committed above the $92-$100 support area. The increase in volume together with the volatility suggests the presence of supply with more testing and short-term weakness ahead.
 

Bias

Bullish. According to the Wyckoff method, PI is preparing to break out of the BU and begin a markup phase rally after the backup action in the trading range 120-140 is completed.

If the price breaks below $120, it is likely to consolidate further and range between the support of $102 and $120. PI was discussed in detail in my weekly live group coaching on 24 Jan 2023 before the market opened.
