Early March 2026 Watchlist: 3 Altcoins That Could Surge or Sink Fast

Jakarta, Pintu News – A number of altcoins entered the first week of March with important catalysts that have the potential to trigger short-term volatility and open up trading opportunities. For some assets, technical indicators point to increased capital inflows, while broader macroeconomic and geopolitical factors continue to influence overall market direction.

Here is an analysis of three altcoins that – based on external factors and recent developments – are likely to experience an increase or decrease in the first week of March, based on the BeInCrypto page.

Polygon (POL)

Polygon (POL) is gearing up for its Lisovo Hardfork on March 4, which brings improvements to smart contracts as well as better wallet support. These upgrades include more optimized Count Leading Zeros compatibility, more flexible fee adjustments, and stronger transaction reliability.

Network updates like this often affect sentiment towards native tokens, making POL potentially volatile.

POL prices could benefit if buying pressure continues to build. The Money Flow Index (MFI) indicator shows rising capital inflows, signaling improved investor confidence. If demand remains strong, POL has a chance to break the $0.109 resistance. If the breakout is confirmed, upside room could open up towards $0.120 in the near term.

Even so, an escalation in geopolitical tensions could pressure altcoins broadly. In such a scenario, POL risks correcting and dropping below $0.104 support. A further drop towards $0.099-which is aligned with the 61.8% Fibonacci level-would invalidate the bullish scenario and reinforce downside risks to Polygon’s price.

Chiliz (CHZ)

Chiliz (CHZ) price briefly traded at $0.033 on March 2, 2026, still below the $0.034 resistance level. The token looks sensitive to broader market macro signals. Without strong internal catalysts, Chiliz’s movement tends to follow the general crypto market sentiment for direction.

Chiliz announced that starting the first week of March, Fan Token’s revenue protocol will be used to fund the $CHZ buyback and burn. This development expands the token’s utility beyond its governance function. If bullish momentum builds, CHZ has a chance to break $0.034 and $0.036, with $0.038 as target support in the short term.

However, the still bearish macro environment may hamper recovery efforts. CHZ recently formed a Death Cross, which indicates a weakening of trend momentum. If the selling pressure continues, the price could potentially drop below $0.032 and $0.030.

Such a move would invalidate the bullish scenario and assert broader bearish dominance.

Hyperliquid (HYPE)

Hyperliquid (HYPE) price briefly traded at $30 on March 2, still holding above the uptrend support line that has been forming for about a month. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator also showed strengthening inflows.

Increased capital participation indicates improved investor confidence and strengthens the short-term structural support for Hyperliquid price movements.

The movement of the CMF up past the zero line signals continued net inflows into HYPE. If the buying pressure increases, the price could potentially break the $33 resistance. Upon breakout, an increase towards $36 could follow.

If the level is successfully broken, the room for appreciation towards $40 will open up, while strengthening the structure of the ongoing bullish recovery.

However, Hyperliquid is facing a token unlock of 9.91 million HYPE this week, worth around $305 million. If this additional supply is not absorbed by the market, selling pressure could increase. A weakening break below $28 could potentially drag the price towards $25, which would invalidate the bullish scenario while undermining the uptrend support.
