Pi crypto staged a 7% bounce earlier this week, snapping a stretch of losses that had dragged the token lower through much of 2026. The move caught some traders off guard, but beneath the surface the picture looks less rosy. On-Balance Volume has been trending lower all year, and the Chaikin Money Flow slipped below -0.05 in July — a level that typically signals heavy selling pressure.

Translation: "Pi crypto a effectué un rebond de 7 % en début de semaine, interrompant une série de pertes qui avait fait baisser le jeton pendant une grande partie de 2026. Ce mouvement a pris certains traders au dépourvu, mais en dessous de la surface, la situation semble moins rose. Le volume en solde (OBV) a tendance à baisser toute l'année, et le flux monétaire de Chaikin est passé sous -0,05 en juillet — un niveau qui signale généralement une forte pression vendeuse.

We need to decide on "On-Balance Volume" – we could keep it as is, but we can also add the French equivalent in parentheses? The instruction says use appropriate French terminology, but also keep proper nouns. Since it's a technical indicator, we might keep the English name but explain? Actually, in French, it's often called "Volume en solde" but that's not widely used. I think it's safer to keep "On-Balance Volume" as is, and maybe "Chaikin Money Flow" as is. But we can translate the surrounding text. However, the meta description also mentions them. We'll keep them as is.
But we need to ensure the translation is accurate. Let's do the whole thing.
We'll also translate the headings.
Original headings: "A 7% bounce, but volume tells a different story
" -> "Un rebond de 7 %, mais le volume raconte une autre histoire
"
Second: "CMF confirms the bearish tilt
" -> "Le CMF confirme la tendance baissière
" (CMF is abbreviation for Chaikin Money Flow, we can keep CMF or spell out? We'll keep CMF as it's used in the text.)
Third: "What traders are watching now
" -> "Ce que les traders surveillent maintenant
"
Now the paragraphs:
Second paragraph: "The price jump happened mid-week, with Pi briefly reclaiming ground it had lost in the previous fortnight. Yet the rally came on relatively thin volume. On-Balance Volume, which tracks cumulative buying and selling pressure, has been in a steady downtrend since January. That means each recent up-move has attracted less conviction than the sell-offs that preceded it."
Translation: "Le saut de prix s'est produit en milieu de semaine, Pi ayant brièvement reconquis le terrain perdu au cours des deux semaines précédentes. Pourtant, le rallye s'est fait sur un volume relativement faible. Le volume en solde (OBV), qui suit la pression cumulative d'achat et de vente, est en baisse constante depuis janvier. Cela signifie que chaque mouvement haussier récent a attiré moins de conviction que les ventes massives qui l'ont précédé."
Third paragraph: "It's a classic divergence: price goes up, volume doesn't follow. For a token that's been under pressure for months, that pattern rarely ends well."
Translation: "C'est une divergence classique : le prix monte, le volume ne suit pas. Pour un jeton qui subit des pressions depuis des mois, ce schéma se termine rarement bien."
Fourth paragraph: "The Chaikin Money Flow fell below -0.05 in July and hasn't recovered. That threshold is a rough line in the sand — readings below it suggest money is flowing out of the asset rather than into it. The indicator has stayed negative even as Pi tried to bounce this week, which tells you the sellers aren't done."
Translation: "Le flux monétaire de Chaikin est passé sous -0,05 en juillet et ne s'est pas rétabli. Ce seuil est une ligne de démarcation approximative — des lectures en dessous suggèrent que l'argent sort de l'actif plutôt que d'y entrer. L'indicateur est resté négatif même lorsque Pi a tenté de rebondir cette semaine, ce qui indique que les vendeurs n'ont pas fini."
Fifth paragraph: "CMF isn't a crystal ball, but when it stays negative through a price pop, it's a red flag. The bounce looks more like a dead cat than a reversal."
Translation: "Le CMF n'est pas une boule de cristal,
