The Christmas week has been a historically volatile period for cryptocurrencies, marked by unexpected price swings. However, this volatility does not always translate into a bullish trend for digital tokens. To capitalize on this potential, altcoins often need to lean on additional factors acting as catalysts. In this context, BeInCrypto has explored three altcoins poised for significant price movements during the Christmas week of 2025.
Uniswap (UNI)
Uniswap is capturing the spotlight as it moves toward a pivotal moment with the proposed UNIfication initiative. Currently, the proposal is under a community vote that remains open until December 25, with an impressive 97.8% support rate. Such overwhelming backing indicates not only confidence in the proposed upgrade but also fuels speculative excitement and trading activity around UNI.
The UNIfication proposal aims to burn 100 million UNI tokens, thereby tightening the supply and enhancing price dynamics. This anticipation has already elevated UNI’s price by 26.5%, with current trading values near $6.27. Should momentum continue, the token could potentially break through the $6.57 barrier, setting the stage for a surge toward the $7.00 mark or even higher.

However, the path is not without risks. If profit-taking accelerates before the proposal’s implementation, UNI might struggle to reclaim the $6.57 level. In such a scenario, price consolidation above the $6.02 support could occur, delaying further bullish momentum without reversing the overall upward trend.
Midnight (NIGHT)
The altcoin Midnight (NIGHT) has seen a staggering 71% price surge over the past week, recently exceeding its all-time high of $0.100. This rally can be attributed to strong investor interest, particularly due to Midnight’s development under the renowned Charles Hoskinson. His influence has significantly boosted the token’s credibility and visibility in the market.
If investor confidence remains robust through the holiday period, this momentum may continue. Sustained demand could push NIGHT prices beyond the previous all-time high of $0.120, potentially reaching toward the $0.150 mark under the right conditions.
Yet, rapid gains come with inevitable risk. If early profit-taking occurs, NIGHT could slip below the $0.100 support level. A breakdown at this critical mark might see the price trend toward $0.075, which could invalidate the bullish outlook for this altcoin.
Aave (AAVE)
Aave stands out as the only major crypto asset to experience a correction this week, falling by 14.84% and trading around $160. This decline comes in stark contrast to broader market rallies, indicating some investor caution. Despite this recent setback, AAVE might still attempt a recovery as the community reassesses its fundamentals and potential governance developments.
A key catalyst for Aave’s potential rebound is the newly announced Phase 1 vote, aimed at aligning AAVE tokens with a DAO-controlled structure designed to offer anti-capture protections. Should this proposal garner support, it could bolster investor confidence and drive AAVE above the $164 mark, with $180 serving as a more ambitious target for recovery.
Nevertheless, downside risks persist. If support from investors fails to materialize, the ongoing hesitation could spur additional selling pressure. In such a case, AAVE may dip below the $157 support level, deepening a decline toward $150 and potentially undermining the bullish sentiment forecasted for the token.
