Christmas week is often a time of high volatility in the market, but it does not always lead to a surge in cryptocurrency token prices. Therefore, to leverage this volatility into a bullish trend, tokens need to rely on many other factors.
BeInCrypto has analyzed three altcoins with standout factors that could create momentum for their prices to break out during Christmas 2025.
Uniswap (UNI)
Uniswap is attracting significant attention from retail investors as the UNIfication proposal approaches the approval stage. The vote is ongoing until December 25, 2025, but there is already 97.8% support. This overwhelming number shows that the community has great confidence in the upgrade, while also increasing speculative interest and trading activity around UNI.
This proposal includes burning 100 million UNI, helping to reduce supply and support upward price momentum. As this news spread, UNI increased by 26.5%. It is currently trading around 6.27 USD, and this token could easily surpass the 6.57 USD mark. If this momentum is maintained, UNI could also advance to 7.00 USD or more.

The risk remains if retail investors sell for profit too early before the proposal is implemented. Strong selling pressure could halt the upward momentum, making it difficult for UNI to recover to the level of 6.57 USD, possibly only holding above the support zone of 6.02 USD. At that point, the upward trend will be delayed, but the long-term trend has generally not reversed.
Midnight (NIGHT)
NIGHT has just surged up to 71% in the past week, setting a new peak above 0.100 USD in the last 24 hours. This price increase is due to strong interest from retail investors, along with credibility bolstered by the Midnight project that Charles Hoskinson is developing, helping this token gain more attention in the market.
The brand associated with Charles Hoskinson is the biggest driver of NIGHT. If retail investor confidence remains strong during the holidays, the upward momentum could continue. Strong demand could push NIGHT beyond the historical mark of 0.120 USD. If everything goes well, NIGHT could fully aim for the price range of 0.150 USD.
The downside risk remains high after NIGHT's strong increase. If retail investors sell off for profit too early, the price could face a correction. If selling pressure increases, NIGHT could fall below the support level of 0.100 USD. If this level is broken, the price could drop to the area of 0.075 USD, and the upward trend will no longer be valid.
Aave (AAVE)
Aave is the only standout token this week with a downward trend, decreasing by 14.84% and trading around 160 USD. This decline is contrary to most other altcoins that are rising in price. However, AAVE could recover as retail investors reassess the fundamental factors and upcoming governance decisions of the project.
The expected momentum will come from the newly announced vote on Phase 1 regarding the management of the AAVE token. The proposal aims to transfer ownership of Aave's brand assets to a model controlled by DAO with measures against power usurpation. If this proposal is supported, community sentiment will improve and help AAVE rise back to the 164 USD mark, with the recovery target possibly aiming for 180 USD.
However, the risk remains if there is no support from retail investors. Prolonged hesitation could exert continued selling pressure. At that point, AAVE could slide below the support zone of 157 USD. If the price drops further to 150 USD, the bullish outlook will be negated, and the short-term downward trend is likely to continue.
