Market Signal Briefing

An anonymous developer used the pseudonym Ryoshi to launch a highly speculative cryptocurrency called Shiba Inu (SHIB 5.33%) in 2020, after observing how enthusiastically investors were piling into a similar token called Dogecoin. In 2021, Shiba Inu delivered a return of 45,278,000%, which remains one of the best annual gains by any asset in history. It would have been enough to turn a perfectly timed investment of $3 into $1 million.

Market conditions were perfect for Shiba Inu to succeed then. Interest rates were at historic lows, and the U.S. government was pumping trillions of dollars into the economy to offset the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This drove a speculative frenzy that infected everything from stocks to real estate to cryptocurrencies.

But speculative frenzies never last, and Shiba Inu had lost more than 90% of its peak value by mid-2022. It's currently trading at the lowest level in five years, but could 2026 be the year it stages another historic rally and potentially reaches $1 from its current price of $0.000006? The answer will blow your mind.

Shiba Inu needs to find a sustainable source of demand The key to creating value for any cryptocurrency is to find a consistent source of demand. If it's popular as a payment method, for example, its value will typically grow in line with the number of businesses and consumers who regularly use it. Unfortunately, Shiba Inu hasn't succeeded in attracting that kind of adoption.

As a speculative cryptocurrency, Shiba Inu is highly volatile, which would make cash-flow management a nightmare for any business. Plus, it's an inefficient payment mechanism because it's built on the legacy Ethereum network, which struggles to handle high transaction volumes without a dramatic increase in fees (or "gas").

Developers built a Layer-2 blockchain solution for Shiba Inu called Shibarium, which bypasses some of Ethereum's constraints, but it hasn't moved the needle in terms of adoption. In fact, just 1,130 businesses worldwide are willing to accept the token as payment as I write this (according to crypto directory Cryptwerk).

Efforts to come up with other use cases have also fallen flat. Developers built a virtual metaverse for Shiba Inu enthusiasts, where they can exchange tokens for digital plots of land and other novelties. However, based on the token's rock-bottom price today, it hasn't created much (if any) value.

$1 per token might be impossible as things stand Aside from Shiba Inu's lack of adoption, its supply issue could be another barrier to reaching the $1 milestone. There are 589.2 trillion tokens in circulation, so at the current price of $0.000006 per token, Shiba Inu has a market capitalization of $3.6 billion. Simple math dictates that a price-per-token of $1 would result in a market cap of $589.2 trillion, which is simply unrealistic.

For some perspective, the largest company in the world (Nvidia) is worth just $4.8 trillion. The total value of all above-ground gold reserves is around $36 trillion. Finally, the International Monetary Fund estimates that the output of the entire global economy will be $123.6 trillion in 2026.

Therefore, I can confidently say that achieving a price of $1 per token is impossible as things stand. But the community is trying to solve the supply issue by "burning" tokens, which involves sending them to a dead wallet where they can never be retrieved. In theory, if enough tokens are removed from circulation, the price of each remaining token should rise by a proportionate amount.

Burning enough tokens will take a mind-blowing amount of time If Shiba Inu's circulating supply of 589.2 trillion tokens shrank by 99.99998% to just 3.6 billion tokens, that would theoretically result in a price-per-token of $1. Why? Because a supply of 3.6 billion tokens multiplied by $1 equals a market cap of $3.6 billion, exactly matching Shiba Inu's current market cap.

Last month, around 102.5 million tokens were burned, which is an annualized rate of 1.23 billion. At this rate, it will take a staggering 479,000 years to burn enough tokens to justify a price of $1, so none of us will be here when it happens.

But there's another issue: This particular route to $1 won't create any value. Each investor would have 99.99998% fewer tokens, so even though each remaining token is worth $1, their net financial position would be exactly the same as it is today.

Believe it or not, this gets worse. Even if an investor passed their tokens down through the generations, the inheritance would be worth far less than it is today after 479 millennia worth of inflation.

Pump.fun [PUMP] has rallied 7.9% in the past 24 hours, and its daily trading volume saw a 9.61% bump higher, according to CoinMarketCap data.

AMBCrypto had previously reported that the memecoin was flashing a reversal signal, and a two-week trendline resistance has been broken.

Additionally, Spot outflows also signaled aggressive accumulation. At the same time, the longer-term price action retained a bearish swing structure. Will PUMP bulls be able to defend the $0.0017 support level once more?

PUMP price action has been indecisive lately

Source: PUMP/USDT on TradingView

Since December, PUMP has oscillated between the $0.0017 and $0.0034 horizontal levels. Within these bounds, it has exhibited multiple internal structure shifts. The most recent one came on the 5th of February.

The $0.00225 higher low was breached, shifting the bias bearishly. At the time of writing, the bearish bias was unchanged.

At the same time, the $0.0017 local support level from late December 2025 has been defended. The OBV was moving sideways over the past month.

It showed neither bulls nor bears had the upper hand to dictate the next trend.

The RSI was at 44, showing a slight leaning toward bearish momentum in recent days. However, this does not guarantee a breakdown below the local support.

What is PUMP most likely to do in the short term?

Source: PUMP/USDT on TradingView

The most accurate answer would be “hunt down liquidity.” Over the past week, the Pump.fun token has traded within a range reaching from $0.00170 to $0.00197.

At the time of writing, PUMP faced a rejection from the range highs and was sliding lower. The technical indicators did not give a strong signal to either the bulls or the bears in this timeframe.

Traders’ call to action – Sell into strength In the short term, traders can remain sidelined. The range formation and the liquidity clustered near the lows at $0.00166-$0.00170 offered a buying opportunity.

Meanwhile, a breakout beyond the range highs might not be long-lived. This was because of the higher timeframe bias. Any move to $0.0022-$0.0024 would likely be part of a liquidity hunt, likely to reverse once swept.

Genuine Spot demand in the form of high Spot buying pressure is needed to break the overhead liquidity clusters and keep the uptrend going.

If this demand does not emerge, traders should be prepared to sell into short-term PUMP strength.

Final Summary The daily timeframe showed a bearish PUMP bias. The short-term range formation meant traders could remain sidelined. A short squeeze is possible, but a range breakout should not fool traders.

Leading cryptocurrencies moved sideways on Sunday, while gold and crude oil spiked amid investor concerns over escalating Middle East tensions. Cryptocurrency 24-Hour Gains +/- Price (Recorded at 8:20 p.m.

XRP (XRP 4.53%) saw stretches of very strong bullish momentum in 2025, but trading took a bearish turn later in the year -- and weakness has extended into 2026. The cryptocurrency's token price has fallen 26% year to date as of this writing.

Meanwhile, the token is down roughly 41% over the past 12 months. While inflation has moderated and cryptocurrencies have seen rising adoption in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), XRP and most other leading tokens have still seen dramatic valuation pullbacks over the last half-year of trading. Read on for a look at three catalysts that have driven valuation pullbacks for XRP and other top cryptocurrencies.

1. The resurgence of precious metals While XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum have all been hit with big valuation pullbacks recently, bullish momentum for gold and silver has been running red hot. The sharp divergence in performance between these two different kinds of assets has been poking holes in some of the narratives that have traditionally helped to support and elevate cryptocurrency valuations.

Valuation trends across the crypto market are raising questions about whether even top tokens are really a viable long-term hedge against inflation. Sharp sell-offs over the last year have also raised doubts about whether cryptocurrencies really work as a store of value. Despite the more favorable regulatory backdrop for the crypto market ushered in by President Trump's second term, XRP and other top tokens have seen their valuations cut down. Investors are seeking greener pastures, and outperformance for precious metals seems to be increasing bearish headwinds for crypto.

2. The rise of stablecoins While the combined market capitalization of all existing tokens has dived in conjunction with the current crypto winter, proliferation and adoption trends for stablecoins have actually looked quite strong. These coins, which are typically pegged to maintain a price as close to $1 as possible, have shifted thinking surrounding the use of cryptocurrencies as actual currencies. Rather than treating XRP and other volatile tokens as mediums of exchange, using stablecoins offers greater consistency for both buyers and sellers. Increasing preference for stablecoins for actual transactions appears to be depressing demand for other cryptocurrencies.

3. Uncertainty on the interest rate front The cryptocurrency market faced significant pressures following news that President Trump has named Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve. Investors had been hoping that Trump's nominee for the position would be a clear proponent for cutting interest rates, but Warsh has been a notable critic of quantitative easing and has the potential to be significantly more hawkish on rate cuts than crypto holders were hoping for.

As another source of bearish pressures, transcripts from the Fed's most recent meeting showed that members of the board were hesitant to cut rates and open to the possibility of hikes if new developments call for it.

Target is reportedly facing criticism from a group of investors unhappy with its management’s decisions.

That’s according to a report Friday (Feb. 27) from Reuters, which noted that this push is happening at a time when Target is struggling while rivals Walmart and Costco benefit from cost-conscious consumers.

Target’s profits are down 14% in the last five years, while its move away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives following Donald Trump’s return to the White House upset many customers and merchants.

Former CEO Brian Cornell has acknowledged that Target’s DEI rollback led to a boycott that ate into sales, the report added. The company’s market value has fallen by nearly half since 2021 to $52 billion, while Costco’s has topped $430 billion, and Walmart’s is now above $1 trillion.

We’d love to be your preferred source for news.

Please add us to your preferred sources list so our news, data and interviews show up in your feed. Thanks!

With that in mind, the report said, a number of Target investors are lobbying for change. Among them is a group of 27 investors seeking answers to what it views as missteps that have hurt Target’s reputation with customers and hurt sales.

“We are concerned that a series of recent public-facing decisions and communications by the company may have introduced reputational, operational, and financial risks at a moment when Target is already navigating a challenging competitive and macroeconomic environment,” the investors wrote in a letter seen by Reuters.

The letter does not mention specific remedies, the report added. Reuters cited data from LSEG projecting the company will show a 2.65% drop in same-store sales for last year.

“Target’s top priority is getting back to growth, and our strategy to do so is rooted in four strategic priorities: leading with merchandising authority, providing a consistently elevated shopping experience, leveraging technology and strengthening team and community,” the company told Reuters in a statement, adding it routinely speaks with investors.

New CEO Michael Fiddelke is expected to discuss his priorities for the year when Target reports earnings this week. In a message from the CEO posted on Target’s website last month said those priorities include merchandising that combines design, style and value and a guest experience that makes in-store and digital shopping easier and more welcoming.

“Our guests want great design, real value and experiences that delight,” Fiddelke said in the message. “That’s where Target has always been at its best, and it’s what grounds the important work in front of us now.”

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - March 1, 2026) - Kaskela Law LLC announces that it is actively investigating the recently announced proposed buyout of Mister Car Wash, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCW) shareholders to determine whether the $7.00 per share buyout offer is fair to the company's investors.

On February 18, 2026, Mister Car Wash announced that it had agreed to be acquired by private equity investment firm Leonard Green & Partners L.P. ("LGP") at a price of $7.00 per share in cash. Following the closing of the proposed transaction the company's shares will no longer be publicly traded.

The investigation seeks to determine whether Mister Car Wash investors will be receiving sufficient financial consideration for their MCW shares, or if the proposed buyout price is inadequately low. Notably, at the time the buyout transaction was announced, several stock analysts were maintaining price targets of over $8.00 per share for Mister Car Wash shares - over 14% higher than the buyout offer.

Mister Car Wash investors who would like to learn more about the investigation and their legal rights and options are encouraged to contact lead investigative attorney Adrienne Bell, Esq. at (484) 229 - 0750 or by email at [email protected].

Betmakers Technology Group Ltd (TPBTF) Q2 2026 Earnings Call March 1, 2026 4:30 PM EST

Company Participants

Matthew Davey - President & Executive Chairman
Jake Henson - Chief Executive Officer

Presentation

Matthew Davey
President & Executive Chairman

Well, good morning, everyone. It gives me a great pleasure to bring you the first half FY '26 update on BetMakers Technology Group. Presenting today is myself, Executive Chair and President of the company; and accompanied by Jake Henson, Chief Executive Officer.

So the real pleasure here is to be able to deliver results from a technology-driven turnaround that has allowed us really to start compounding on the great work that the team have done over the last 2 years. You can see this directly in the numbers today, but we'll also talk through the products and the customer impact and our competitive positioning in the marketplace. From the numbers, you can see we delivered the first 6 handle on our half year EBITDA result with $6 million. It's quite the turnaround from the $1.3 million loss in the first half of FY '25. This is driven in part by a double-digit top line revenue growth of $46.1 million and expanding gross margins by another 10% to 66.5%, again, reflecting the great work that the team has done to make this business more efficient and deliver a better return on our invested capital.

A lot of this is driven by existing customers, but also by new product and new technology. There's no better example of the benefits and the market reception of that than demand by customers. And so the last 6 months, we've signed up phenomenal customers such as Stake as well as CrownBet and continuing to deliver a significantly strong pipeline of customers going forward. In addition to that, we've also closed on our acquisition of LVDC, and we

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 1, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE: BRBR) between November 19, 2024 and August 4, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 23, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased BellRing securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the BellRing class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=51444 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 23, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, BellRing develops, markets, and sells "convenient nutrition" products such as ready-to-drink ("RTD") protein shakes primarily under the brand name Premier Protein. During the Class Period, defendants represented that sales growth reflected increased end-consumer demand, attributing results to "organic growth," "distribution gains," "incremental promotional activity," and "[s]trong macro tailwinds around protein" among other factors. At the same time, defendants downplayed the impact of competition on demand, insisting BellRing was not experiencing any significant changes in competition, and that in the RTD category particularly, BellRing possessed a "competitive moat," given that "the ready-to-drink category is just highly complex" and the products are "hard to formulate." As alleged, in truth, BellRing's reported sales during the Class Period were driven by its key customers stockpiling inventory and did not reflect increased end-consumer demand or brand momentum. Following the destocking, BellRing admitted that competitive pressures were materially weakening demand. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

(NYSE: BBWI) between June 4, 2024 and November 19, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 16, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Bath & Body Works securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Bath & Body Works class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50622 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 16, 2026.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, and that defendants failed to disclose that: (1) Bath & Body Works' strategy of pursuing "adjacencies, collaborations and promotions" was not growing the customer base and/or delivering the level of growth in net sales touted; (2) as Bath & Body Works' strategy of "adjacencies, collaborations and promotions" faltered, it relied on brand collaborations "to carry quarters" and obfuscate otherwise weak underlying financial results; (3) as a result, Bath & Body Works was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Bath & Body Works' business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Artificial intelligence (AI) investing has hit a bit of a lull. The market is a bit worried about how much money companies are spending on AI computing, and they want to see a return on investment. However, that may not come for a few years, which creates conflict between the market and the AI leaders. The AI leaders all recognize that this area is one that you must spend big on now, or risk being left behind in the future. This is truly table stakes to sit at the big tech table, but that doesn't give it a pass from the market.

Investors need to use this sell-off as a buying opportunity, as there are several stocks that you may have missed out on that look like incredible deals right now.

Image source: Getty Images.

Microsoft Microsoft (MSFT 2.23%) is probably the biggest value in the current sell-off. It posted strong financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 (ended Dec. 31, 2025), yet the stock sold off. This doesn't make any sense, and the market is well aware of Microsoft's spending plans and how it's actually profiting from the AI build-out right now due to its thriving cloud computing business, Azure.

Still, Microsoft stock is down around 30% from its all-time high. What's even more telling is its price tag. From a price-to-earnings basis, Microsoft has seldom been this cheap since 2020.

MSFT PE Ratio data by YCharts

If you've missed out on Microsoft's stock in the past, now is the time to take action. I think the stock is due to rally higher any day now, and taking advantage of it while it's down is a smart move.

Broadcom Broadcom (AVGO 0.67%) is another stock that has sold off since 2026 began. It's not down nearly as much as Microsoft (about 20% at the time of this writing), but it's still a prime buying opportunity. Broadcom's hottest business unit is its custom AI chip division, which partners with various AI hyperscalers to design a chip that's specifically suited for their needs. These chips are a viable alternative to expensive graphics processing units (GPUs) in some cases, and are a huge growth opportunity for Broadcom.

Wall Street expects big things from Broadcom over the next two years, with the average analyst projecting 53% revenue growth and 39% revenue growth in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, respectively. Those growth rates indicate Broadcom's revenue should double over the next two years, and if I can find a stock that can double revenue in the next two years at a discount, I think it's a no-brainer buy.

Nebius Last is Nebius (NBIS 13.05%). Nebius isn't a big tech company like Broadcom or Microsoft, but it's rapidly growing. Nebius operates an AI-first cloud computing platform that offers a full-stack setup for its users. This allows AI developers to build and run AI models on its platform, making it an incredibly popular offering right now.

If you were impressed by Broadcom's growth rate, wait until you see Nebius'. At the end of 2025, Nebius had an annual run rate of $1.25 billion. By the end of 2026, that figure is expected to rise to $7 billion to $9 billion. That growth is possible thanks to several data centers coming online.

Nebius has delivered nearly exponential growth, rising from two sites in 2024 to seven in 2025. At the end of 2026, it expects to have 16 sites operational, which will be able to handle the massive demand it's experiencing. This demand won't shut off at the end of the year and will likely continue growing at a rapid pace over the next few years as AI becomes more widely used. With Nebius down around 25% from its highs set in October 2025, now is the perfect time to buy shares.

Board acted in response to substantial accumulation of stock by Constellation Software

, /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation ("Sabre" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SABR) today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved the adoption of a limited-duration shareholder rights plan ("Rights Plan") to protect the interests of Sabre and its shareholders. The Rights Plan is effective immediately and expires in one year.  

The Board, in consultation with its independent advisors, adopted the Rights Plan in response to the substantial accumulation of shares of Sabre's common stock by Constellation Software Inc. ("Constellation") (TSX: CSU). In deciding to adopt the Rights Plan, the Board considered, among other things, that:

Between April 2025 and November 2025, Constellation accumulated a 9.7% economic position in Sabre, comprising 4.7% beneficial ownership of common stock and a further 5% via derivative instruments, and privately informed Sabre of its ownership stake for the first time in early January 2026; Constellation is a serial acquirer of software companies that build verticals, and one of its operating groups, Vela Software, has in recent years acquired several travel technology companies; In connection with its outreach in early January 2026, Constellation requested a board seat for two of its executives, and during the course of discussions with the Company, delivered a nomination notice under the Company's bylaws on January 23, 2026; Constellation previously suggested to Sabre its desire that its investment in Sabre be similar to its investment in Asseco Poland S.A., where it currently holds a 24.8% position; Sabre engaged in constructive discussions with Constellation and began negotiating a strategic governance agreement to appoint the CEO of Constellation's Vela Software division to the Board and enable continued collaboration between the two parties with the goal of driving long-term growth and value creation; On February 26, 2026, despite the parties nearing the finish line on the agreement, Constellation abruptly and without explanation broke off several weeks of constructive negotiations and stated that its intentions "would appear clear with the benefit of time;" Sabre made multiple attempts to reengage Constellation on February 26 and February 27, 2026, that remain unanswered, and on February 28, 2026, Constellation withdrew the formal nomination of its second candidate (not the candidate who the parties had been contemplating would join the Board in connection with the proposed strategic governance agreement) without providing any explanation or otherwise responding to Sabre's requests to reengage; and During the week of February 23 through February 27, 2026, the Company observed unusually high trading volume in its stock. The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any proposal from Constellation or another party to acquire control of the Sabre and is not intended to deter offers or preclude the Board from considering offers that are fair and otherwise in the best interest of the shareholders. Subject to understanding the basis for Constellation's changed posture, Sabre remains open to resuming discussions with Constellation regarding a negotiated agreement on acceptable terms.

The Rights Plan is intended to enable all shareholders to realize the long-term value of their investment in Sabre and ensure they receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover. The Rights Plan is also intended to reduce the likelihood that any person or group gains control of the Company through open-market accumulation or other tactics without paying an appropriate control premium or providing the Board sufficient time to make informed decisions that are in the best interests of Sabre and its shareholders.

Advisors

BofA Securities is serving as financial advisor to Sabre and Kirkland & Ellis LLP is serving as legal counsel.

About the Rights Plan

The Rights Plan is similar to shareholder rights plans adopted by other publicly traded companies. Pursuant to the Rights Plan, Sabre is issuing one right for each share of common stock as of the close of business on March 11, 2026. The rights will initially trade with Sabre common stock and will generally become exercisable only if any person (or any persons acting as a group) acquires 15% (or 20% for certain passive investors) or more of the outstanding common stock (the "triggering percentage"). The Rights Plan does not aggregate the ownership of shareholders "acting in concert" unless and until they have formed a group under applicable securities laws. If the rights become exercisable, all holders of rights (other than any triggering person) will be entitled to acquire shares of common stock at a 50% discount or Sabre may exchange each right held by such holders for one share of common stock. Under the Rights Plan, any person that currently owns more than the triggering percentage may continue to own its shares of common stock but may not acquire any additional shares without triggering the Rights Plan. The Rights Plan does not contain any dead-hand, slow-hand, no-hand or similar feature that limits the ability of a future board of directors to redeem the rights.

The Rights Plan has a one-year term, expiring on February 28, 2027. The Board may consider an earlier termination of the Rights Plan as circumstances warrant. Further details about the Rights Plan will be contained in a Form 8-K to be filed by Sabre with the SEC.

Here’s Why Hyperliquid Traders Must Brace for $29 Million Liquidation Threat Prefer us on Google

$28.9 million short liquidations cluster above $35 resistance.MACD bullish crossover signals strengthening upside momentum.Breakdown below $30 could expose HYPE price to $26 support.Hyperliquid price has attempted a steady recovery in recent sessions, regaining part of its prior losses. HYPE has not completely lost bullish momentum. However, futures market positioning suggests resistance remains strong, keeping the altcoin vulnerable to sudden volatility.

While spot traders show cautious optimism, derivatives data highlights persistent bearish pressure. 

Hyperliquid Traders Must Watch This LevelThe liquidation map shows that Hyperliquid contracts are currently skewed toward bearish exposure. A cluster of $28.9 million in short liquidations sits above the $35 price level. This concentration reflects significant short positioning among futures traders.

Dominant short exposure indicates that many traders expect downside continuation. However, heavy short interest also creates squeeze potential. If HYPE crosses $35 decisively, forced short liquidations could amplify upside volatility and quickly shift market sentiment.

HYPE Liquidation Map. Source; CoinglassTechnical indicators offer a more constructive short-term outlook. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator registered a bullish crossover on Sunday. This signal often marks strengthening upside momentum.

MACD’s upward shift suggests buying pressure may build gradually. Momentum oscillators reflect improving trend conditions despite futures skepticism. If spot demand aligns with technical signals, HYPE could regain upward traction in the near term.

HYPE MACD. Source: TradingViewHYPE Price May Face ResistanceHyperliquid price is currently facing mixed signals, leaving direction dependent on broader crypto market conditions. Geopolitical tensions and macro uncertainty could limit investor risk appetite. If external sentiment weakens, HYPE may struggle to sustain upward momentum.

Should the market avoid a severe bearish reaction, HYPE could push above $34 resistance. A breakout toward $36 would place the price near the $35 liquidation cluster. Triggering approximately $28.9 million in short liquidations could accelerate gains toward $38. Such a move may also bring the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages closer together, setting up a potential Golden Cross formation, which would be achieved following the short liquidations.

HYPE Price Analysis. Source: TradingViewConversely, renewed bearish conditions would undermine this outlook. A breakdown below $30 support could shift sentiment decisively negative. Loss of this level would expose $26 as the next major support for HYPE price. Such a move would invalidate the bullish thesis and disrupt the month-and-a-half uptrend structure currently in place.

The past few days have seen shocking developments on the geopolitical front, with the United States and Israel launching coordinated strikes against Iran. The operation took place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, and because cryptocurrency markets trade around the clock, Bitcoin’s price action quickly reflected the shock. Bitcoin became the world’s real-time measure of fear, plunging, recovering, and leaving traders bracing for what comes next.

The Initial Shock: Bitcoin Tumbles Below $64,000 Bitcoin’s price action took a hit almost as soon as reports emerged that US and Israeli forces were conducting military operations inside Iran. Notably, Bitcoin plunged from a price of $65,572 to $63,176 in about an hour overnight following word of the strikes. 

According to data from The Kobeissi Letter, over $100 million worth of leveraged Bitcoin longs were liquidated in just 15 minutes after the news broke out. The scale of the sell-off was significant: about $128 billion was wiped off the overall crypto market in a single hour as liquidations surged across global exchanges. 

However, Bitcoin did not stay down for long after the initial plunge. The largest cryptocurrency started to stage a rebound as traders speculated on unfolding developments, including confirmation of the death of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei during the attacks. Early Asian trading saw BTC climb back above $67,000, regaining some ground as markets reevaluated the situation and eased momentary panic. 

BTCUSD currently trading at $66,544. Chart: TradingView Bitcoin rose as much as 2.21% above $68,000 following the news of Khamenei’s death, with Coingecko data pointing to an intraday high of $68,043. Still, the recovery has been uneven, with price action reflecting ongoing uncertainty over how the geopolitical tensions will be resolved. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price action has corrected a bit from this intraday high and is now trading at $66,310.

What Comes Next: Analysts Warn The Rally May Be Fragile Despite the bounce, market analysts across social media platforms are recommending caution. The real price reaction will happen on Monday when US equity markets and Bitcoin ETFs reopen. As it stands, the attacks are not yet a contained event, with missiles still hitting Dubai and Iranian retaliation across the Gulf. There is also the risk of a full closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran.

Bitcoin is already currently down by almost 50% from its all-time peak of over $126,000 earlier in October 2024, unable to latch on to rallies in gold, silver, and other assets. All eyes will be on Monday’s market open, when the entire traditional investment niche starts to react to the full weight of the world’s most dramatic geopolitical escalation in years. Bitcoin is already in a fragile state, and because of that, a move to $60,000 could play out during the week if there’s any form of selling pressure.

XRP stands out as the only major cryptocurrency with court-backed U.S. regulatory clarity, fueling institutional adoption and outperforming rivals, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said as he pushes for broader crypto legislation to unlock industry growth.

Unstaked WLFI cannot vote; stakers earn rewards, Node privileges, and Super Node partnership opportunities.

World Liberty Financial has proposed a new staking-focused governance system for WLFI holders – the WLFI Governance Staking System. It makes WLFI tokens the primary tool for community governance, and allows holders to influence the ecosystem while promoting long-term participation.

The proposal’s main goals are to encourage active governance, require staking for voting with unlocked tokens, reward participation, create a tiered node system for committed holders, and prioritize partnerships with supportive projects.

Tiered Governance According to the official announcement, the initiative aims to redirect value from intermediaries and market makers, who captured millions in arbitrage profits during the USD1 expansion phases, to long-term participants, while also applying structural pressure on competing stablecoins.

Under the system, holders of unlocked WLFI tokens must stake to participate in governance. The minimum lock-up period is 180 days. Voting power depends on both the staked amount and the remaining lock-up period. Governance rights adjust dynamically as the lock-up period decreases. Stakers must vote at least twice during the lock-up period to receive staking rewards, which target an annual percentage yield of around 2%. This will be paid from the WLFI treasury.

The proposal introduces a Node tier for participants staking 10 million WLFI (about $1 million). Nodes gain access to over-the-counter USD1 conversion through licensed market makers, receive team-building rights, and earn rewards based on USD1 conversion volume. WLFI subsidizes market makers to maintain 1:1 parity and redirects arbitrage benefits to long-term participants.

Super Nodes are holders staking 50 million WLFI (approximately $5 million). They receive all Node privileges, guaranteed access to the WLFI team for partnership discussions, and potential eligibility for economic incentives on approved integrations. Super Node status does not guarantee a partnership with WLFI.

Implementation is planned in three phases. First is the governance staking for unlocked tokens with rewards and USD1 incentives. Second, includes node tier activation with KYC onboarding and OTC conversion rights. Third, Super Node tier activation with partnership access and revenue-sharing frameworks.

Pakistan Explores USD1 Stablecoin The latest proposal comes a month after Pakistan signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with SC Financial Technologies, an entity affiliated with World Liberty Financial, to explore the use of its USD1 stablecoin. The agreement aims to support technical dialogue and understanding around digital payment systems.

SC Financial Technologies will work with Pakistan’s central bank to integrate USD1 into regulated digital payments, allowing it to operate alongside the country’s digital currency infrastructure.

No votes yet – Be the first to vote

World Liberty Financial dropped new rules. The crypto firm wants WLFI token holders to stake their coins if they want voting rights, and the company’s betting this move will shake up how governance works in the space.

The plan’s pretty straightforward but demands commitment. Token holders can’t just hold WLFI and vote anymore – they need to lock up their coins for at least 180 days to get governance power. Your voting strength depends on how much you stake and how long you’ve got left in the lock-up period. As time ticks down, your governance rights shift too. Want staking rewards? You better vote at least twice during your lock-up or you won’t see the promised 2% annual yield that comes from the WLFI treasury.

Not everyone gets the same treatment.

The company built a tiered system that separates big players from regular holders. Node tier kicks in at 10 million staked WLFI tokens – that’s roughly $1 million worth. These nodes get special perks like OTC USD1 conversion through licensed market makers, plus rewards tied to USD1 conversion volume. But the real power sits with Super Nodes, which need 50 million WLFI tokens (about $5 million staked). Super Node holders get direct access to partnership talks with the WLFI team and can grab economic incentives on selected integrations.

The rollout won’t happen overnight. World Liberty Financial mapped out three phases: first comes governance staking for unlocked tokens, then node tier activation with KYC onboarding, and finally Super Node activation with expanded access and revenue-sharing deals. The WLFI team said they’ll announce specific timelines after the voting wraps up.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s making moves with USD1 stablecoin. The country signed a memorandum of understanding with SC Financial Technologies – that’s an affiliate of World Liberty Financial – back on February 15, 2026. Pakistan wants to integrate USD1 into its regulated digital payment systems, working with the central bank to beef up the country’s digital currency infrastructure. The partnership aims to make digital transactions smoother and boost financial inclusion across the region.

And the timing’s interesting. The crypto market’s been wild lately, with major volatility hitting most tokens. World Liberty Financial seems to think their governance staking system will create more stability by getting token holders to commit long-term. The company’s basically betting that requiring skin in the game will build a stronger community around WLFI. For more details, see ARB Token Crashes as Whales Dump.

The tiered approach makes sense from a business angle. By offering different participation levels, World Liberty Financial’s trying to pull in serious money while giving those big investors real influence over network decisions. Node and Super Node holders don’t just get financial rewards – they get strategic advantages that regular holders can’t access. It’s a clear play to attract whales who can actually move the needle on network growth.

Pakistan’s collaboration with SC Financial Technologies marks a big step for the country’s digital finance plans. The USD1 integration reflects growing interest in using blockchain tech to upgrade financial infrastructure. Officials there think this partnership will make transactions easier and bring more people into the formal financial system.

The crypto community’s watching closely as World Liberty Financial navigates this governance overhaul. Token value and market dynamics could shift significantly depending on how well the phased implementation goes. The WLFI team needs to nail the coordination and keep communication transparent if they want stakeholder confidence to hold up during the transition.

Competition among stablecoin issuers keeps heating up, and World Liberty Financial’s governance staking system represents their answer to that pressure. By forcing token holders to stake for voting rights, the company’s trying to lock in its user base and drive more active participation. The move could solidify WLFI’s position or backfire if holders don’t like the new requirements.

The tiered node system’s probably the most innovative part of this whole setup. Different participation levels don’t just attract bigger investments – they create deeper connections between the company and its major stakeholders. World Liberty Financial’s gambling that this approach will strengthen network governance and boost WLFI token appeal in the broader market. For more details, see OTC Crypto Trading Jumps 109% While.

Pakistan’s partnership timeline shows serious momentum behind USD1 adoption. The February signing date puts real urgency behind implementation plans, and Pakistani officials seem committed to making digital payments more accessible. The collaboration aligns with broader digital transformation goals that could reshape how financial services work in the region.

As voting continues on the governance changes, stakeholders want detailed timelines and implementation strategies from the WLFI team. The voting results will determine how fast the next phases roll out, which matters for keeping momentum alive during the transition. No precise timelines yet, but that probably reflects how complex and ambitious this whole project really is.

The governance staking model mirrors similar experiments across DeFi protocols, though World Liberty Financial’s approach carries higher stakes given its political connections. Projects like Compound and Aave have used vote-escrowed tokens to encourage long-term participation, but WLFI’s 180-day minimum lock-up period exceeds most industry standards. Curve Finance’s veCRV system, which inspired many governance token designs, typically sees lock-up periods ranging from one week to four years. The 2% annual yield from treasury funds also sets WLFI apart – most protocols rely on inflationary rewards rather than treasury distributions.

Regional stablecoin adoption patterns suggest Pakistan’s USD1 integration could accelerate broader acceptance across South Asia. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have both explored central bank digital currencies in recent months, creating potential spillover effects for private stablecoin projects. The timing coincides with Pakistan’s $3 billion IMF program, which includes digital finance modernization requirements. SC Financial Technologies has existing partnerships with payment processors in India and Malaysia, positioning the firm to expand USD1 usage beyond Pakistan’s borders if the pilot program succeeds.

These are the types of scenarios that professionals create models for, and speculators live for. So these two players are likely to be the source of volatility in the trading market, with one trying to layoff risk wherever they can and the other betting on huge rallies.

With the attack on Iran and its subsequent retaliation stealing the headlines all weekend, we expect to see some extra safe-haven demand for gold, meaning traders who already have some, chasing it higher. New investors buying the headlines will be another player and professionals who need to offset stock market losses, for example. This all adds up to huge volume, wicked volatility and the chance of a whipsaw trade.

Breakout Over $5143.89 Puts Record High at $5602.23 in Play Technically, after consolidating for weeks between the 50-day moving average at $4794.69 support and Fibonacci resistance at $5143.89, XAUUSD finally broke out of this range last week, signaling the return of strong buyers, or buyers who are willing to buy strength and take offers. During the consolidation phase, investors were more passive, choosing to bid and wait for the market to come to them.

With the close at the one-month high on Friday, gold was put in a position with no visible resistance until the record high at $5602.23, leaving us no choice but to target that price.

A Gap Higher Near the Record Could Be a Trap I don’t believe I can be a good analyst without mentioning some of my concerns. The first being, the price action last week and the close on the weekly high meant that there were a lot of longs in the market before the war began. And this means a gap higher opening especially near the record high could be sold after the initial surge. This would trap anyone who chased on the opening and bought. Conditions could turn ugly and volatile if the market tries to shake out the weakest longs.

Other factors I see that can limit the upside are a stronger dollar, a rebound in stocks after an initial sell-off, the announcement of fresh negotiations between Iran and the U.S.

Company snapshotPerpetua Resources Corp. is a U.S.-based mineral exploration and development-stage company with an operational focus on acquiring mining properties and exploring for gold, silver, antimony, and other critical minerals. Its goal is to advance mineral resources within the U.S. for potential future extraction.

What this transaction means for investorsWe’ve seen the mineral industry become increasingly valuable over recent years, and gold, one of the top precious metals, is increasingly becoming a hot commodity, especially as geopolitical tensions rise and international supply becomes a problem. Antimony is another mineral that is highly sought after, as it’s used in batteries, semiconductors, and everyday appliances.

In late 2025, the Pentagon invested $4.5 billion into the critical minerals market, with a desire for the U.S. to strengthen domestic mining to secure the supply of critical minerals. This benefits companies like Perpetua Resources greatly, as the development-stage company seeks to mine gold and antimony domestically through the Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho, a restoration project in the area.

Perpetua’s stock soared ~125% in 2025, and is already up nearly 50% percent in 2026 (as of Feb. 28). With the company already having high expectations for its upcoming Q4 FY 2025 earnings report on March 18, the stock may be poised for even further substantial growth.

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS 6.75%) stock managed to close out last week's trading solidly in the green despite a significant pullback in Friday's session. The company's share price ended the stretch up 4%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 fell 0.4% in the week, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1%.

D-Wave Quantum stock saw gains in the lead-up to its fourth-quarter report. The stock also initially saw gains following its Q4 report, but sell-offs gained steam after the release.

D-Wave's Q4 results missed the mark, but investors looked to the future D-Wave published its Q4 report before the market opened on Feb. 26 and reported sales and earnings for the period that fell short of Wall Street's targets. The business reported a non-GAAP (adjusted) loss of $0.09 per share on revenue of $2.8 million, missing Wall Street's target for a per-share loss of $0.06 on sales of roughly $3.7 million.

While the Q4 results came in softer than expected, D-Wave's guidance for stronger growth in the second half of this year helped support bullish sentiment for the stock. D-Wave's valuation may have also gotten some support from IonQ's quarterly results, which came in far better than anticipated and helped promote buying for quantum stocks.

What's next for D-Wave? D-Wave grew revenue at a roughly 19% annual rate in the fourth quarter. While it's reasonable to expect that the company's sales growth will be somewhat uneven given the rapidly evolving nature of the quantum-computing industry, investors could adopt more cautious positioning until it's clear that the business's revenue is poised for a rapid and dependable ramp. With geopolitical volatility seemingly poised to play a significant role in shaping market moves over the next month, D-Wave and other quantum stocks could be poised for significant pricing swings.
