The market price on the last day doesn't matter. The median price is used for the conversion, and we're calculating (hedging) here in terms of HIVE. You will almost certainly end up with more HIVE than you started with, meaning you are better of than if you had simply held the HIVE rather than engaged in the conversion.
If you want to hedge in USD terms, that can be done as well, but the strategy would be different.
