$HYPE, the utility cryptocurrency of the decentralized exchange (DEX), Hyperliquid, jumped 6% on Saturday, March 14. These weekends are more beneficial for $HYPE as traders shift from closed traditional markets to Hyperliquid’s oil-linked perpetual futures, significantly raising the trading activity on its platform.

Geopolitical Tensions Spark Volatile Sentiment in Crypto Markets

Recent online monitoring from sentiment analysis platforms shows the rise and fall of the public dialogue surrounding the possible resolution to the current military confrontation involving Iran, Israel and the United States. Conversations that included a mix of references to armed hostilities and terms implying closure or resolution spiked sharply earlier this week, in line with President Trump’s pronouncements of American success and the looming end to active fighting.

However, the subsequent days experience a steep decline in market optimism due to ongoing reports, footage and news of retaliation. As we approach the weekend, there is a bit of a revival in visibility of these discussion themes across platforms.

Geopolitical tensions of this nature often have strong repercussions in cryptocurrency trading, and often result in greater price fluctuations at times of heightened collective online attention to security risks.

President Trump has recently said that the United States and ships from several other countries are sending naval forces to the Straits of Hormuz. The goal is to ensure free and secure transit through this chokepoint, which accounts for around one-fifth of the world’s oil transit.

However, a high-ranking Iranian source told CNN that authorities in Tehran are considering selective authorization of tanker movements but only where transactions by the tanker for oil carried are in Chinese yuan, rather than traditional currencies yuan.

Hyperliquid Price Is 2% Short From A Major Breakout From Wedge Pattern

In the past three weeks, the Hyperliquid price showcased a notable recovery from $26.6 to $37.4, registering a gain of 45%. An analysis of the daily chart shows this upswing as a fresh bull cycle within the formation of a rising wedge pattern.

The chart setup is commonly spotted after a major downtrend as the two the ascending trendline, offers a temporary relief for sellers to recoup their bearish momentum. However, with the current trading frenzy in perpetual oil contracts, the $HYPE price is heading to the upper boundary of the pattern.

Currently trading at $37, the Hyperliquid price is just 5.8% away from challenging the overhead trendline at $39.35. A successful flip of this barrier would indicate higher conviction from buyers to drive a sustained recovery towards $50.

However, a long tail rejection candle at pattern’s resistance trendline suggests persistent supply pressure at this resistance. If these sellers continue to defend this resistance, the coin price could spark a fresh bear cycle within this pattern which previously led to major dip towards the bottom trend.
