Cryptocurrency markets traded sideways over the past 24 hours as conditions stabilized ahead of the weekend. Bitcoin was down by less than 1% and traded below $78,000, while Ether faced risk of dropping below $2,300 if market conditions remain weak.
Against that backdrop, PYTH— the native token of Pyth Network—stood out as one of the market’s best performers. The token rose 11% over the last 24 hours and was positioned for further gains following positive developments within the Pyth ecosystem.
PYTH was up 11% in the last 24 hours and traded around $0.0510 after briefly touching the $0.054 level during the early hours of Friday. The move followed an infrastructure upgrade announced by Pyth Network on Thursday.
In the update, Pyth Network said that Pythnet is being retired and that Oracle Integrity Staking (OIS) reward emissions are ending. It also outlined that Lazer, Pyth Pro, and the Data Marketplace will serve as the forward infrastructure.
Pyth Network added that with Pythnet sunsetting, new integrations are landing primarily with Pyth Pro and the Data Marketplace, where revenue generation and network focus are expected to be concentrated.
Pyth Network also described a change to its economic model. It said the PYTH Reserve will convert protocol revenue into monthly open-market PYTH purchases, executed by the Pyth DAO treasury.
Under the new structure, the PYTH Reserve will be powered by revenue from Pyth Pro, Pyth Core, Entropy, Express Relay, and the Marketplace. Each month, the DAO will deploy one-third of its treasury balance to buy PYTH in the open market.
Pyth Network said it is implementing these changes amid increased adoption of its services in recent months. Earlier this week, Kalshi adopted Pyth Pro to power resolution for real-world assets (RWA) and commodities markets. Other platforms that have integrated Pyth include Polymarket, Coinbase, OKX, BitMEX, and Bitget.
Technical analysis cited a bullish setup on the PYTH/USD 4-hour chart, driven by a rally over the past few hours. The token reportedly broke out of a prior bearish range after moving above $0.050.
Momentum indicators suggested buyers could push PYTH higher in the near term. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart read 66—within the bullish zone but not overbought. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) lines were also described as being in positive territory.
If bullish momentum persists, PYTH could extend its rally toward the 4-hour swing high of $0.0565. A daily close above $0.0565 would expose the next major resistance at $0.0633, a level not visited since February 14.
If the market corrects instead, PYTH could retrace toward the Thursday low of $0.0456.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
