The first week of the last month of 2025 and the fourth quarter may see significant volatility in the cryptocurrency market as it attempts to find a new footing. This could benefit tokens that are already in the process of network development.
BeInCrypto analyzed three altcoins to watch this weekend.
THORChain (RUNE)
The price of RUNE may rise over the weekend as THORChain prepares for the release of V3.14.0. This update includes various fixes and performance improvements, which could enhance investor confidence. These upgrades are expected to strengthen network stability and improve user experience, supporting a short-term rise.
If momentum builds, RUNE could break through the $0.687 barrier. The current parabolic SAR is positioned below the candles, indicating active bullish momentum, which could push the price up to $0.717 or $0.765. Continuous positive sentiment will be essential to extend this movement.

If the uptrend weakens, RUNE may fall to the support level of $0.644. If it breaks below this zone, market confidence will weaken, undermining the current bullish outlook. This could lead to a deeper drop to $0.607.
Aerodrome Finance (AERO)
AERO is trading at $0.683 and has bounced back from the support level of $0.596, remaining below the resistance level of $0.718. The altcoin briefly lost the support level of $0.655 but quickly recovered, signaling a bullish sentiment.
If Aerodrome Finance announces that its main domain will be restored this week, confidence will increase. The central domain of this platform was hacked on November 21, redirecting to malicious content. However, if it is relaunched with new infrastructure, trust will be strengthened, and AERO could rise above $0.718 to $0.814.
If the uptrend weakens, AERO may stay between $0.718 and $0.655. If it drops below $0.655, the current outlook will weaken, and the bullish thesis will be invalidated.
PIPPIN
Another altcoin to watch this weekend is PIPPIN, which is one of the strongest-performing meme coins this week, having risen 194% over the past 7 days. The token is trading at $0.181 and is positioned just below the resistance level of $0.193.
If investor confidence is maintained and market sentiment is positive, PIPPIN can extend its uptrend. If it successfully breaks above $0.193, the meme coin could rise to $0.255, and if it surpasses this level, it could go up to $0.330.
However, profit-taking remains a major risk factor. If holders begin to secure profits, PIPPIN could retreat to $0.136, and losing this support could trigger a deeper decline to $0.100. Further declines would invalidate the current bullish thesis.
