Several altcoins enter the first week of March with notable catalysts that could generate near-term volatility and trading opportunities. While technical indicators are in some cases signaling an increase in capital inflows, broader macroeconomic and geopolitical factors continue to shape the overall market trend.
Thus, BeInCrypto analyzed three altcoins which, depending on external factors and developments, could observe an increase or decrease during the first week of March.
Polygon($POL)
Polygon is preparing for the Lisovo Hardfork on March 4, introducing smart contract improvements and improved wallet support. The upgrade includes better compatibility with Count Leading Zeros, flexible fee adjustment, and greater transaction reliability. Network upgrades often influence sentiment and positioning of native tokens $POL for potential volatility.
$POL The price could benefit from this development as buying pressure builds. The money flow index shows that capital inflows are increasing, thereby improving investor confidence. Sustained demand could push $POL above the resistance at $0.109. A confirmed breakout could open the way to $0.120 in the near term.

However, rising geopolitical tensions could weigh heavily on altcoins. In this scenario, $POL may correct below the $0.104 support. A further decline towards $0.099, aligned with the 61.8% Fibonacci level, would invalidate the bullish outlook and reinforce the downside risk for Polygon price.
Chiliz($CHZ)
$CHZ The price is trading at $0.033 at the time of writing, remaining below the $0.034 resistance level. The token has shown sensitivity to broader macroeconomic market signals. Without strong independent catalysts, Chiliz continues to track general crypto market sentiment to determine its direction.
Chiliz announced that starting from the first week of March, its Fan Token revenue protocol will fund $CHZ redemptions and burns. This development extends utility beyond governance. If an upward dynamic develops, $CHZ could break $0.034 and $0.036, targeting $0.038 as near-term support.

However, persistent bearish macroeconomic conditions could derail recovery efforts. $CHZ recently formed a Death Cross, signaling weakening trend momentum. Continued downward pressure could push the price below $0.032 and $0.030. Such a move would invalidate the bullish thesis and reinforce broader bearish control.
Hyperliquid ($HYPE)
$HYPE The price is trading at $30 at the time of writing, holding above a one-month uptrend support line. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator shows strengthening inflows. The increase in equity participation suggests improved investor confidence and reinforces near-term structural support for hyperliquid price developments.
The passage of the CMF above the zero line signals sustained net flows towards $HYPE. Increased buying pressure could push the price beyond the $33 resistance. A breakout towards $36 could follow. Removing this level would open the path towards $40, reinforcing the ongoing bullish recovery structure.

However, Hyperliquide faces a 9.91 million $HYPE token unlocked this week, valued at $305 million. If the new supply is not absorbed, selling pressure could increase. A break below $28 could push the price towards $25, invalidating the bullish thesis and uptrend support.
