The Christmas week is known as a period of high volatility, but that doesn't always mean that the value of crypto tokens will rise. To turn volatility into bullishness, other factors are also important.
BeInCrypto has analyzed three altcoins where certain factors could act as a catalyst to increase the price around Christmas 2025.
Uniswap (UNI)
Uniswap is attracting a lot of attention from investors because the UNIfication proposal is on its way to approval. The voting is still open until December 25, but support is already at 97.8%. This strong support shows that there is a lot of confidence in the upgrade, leading to more speculative interest and a higher trading volume around UNI.
The proposal means that 100 million UNI tokens will be burned, reducing the supply and strengthening the price dynamics. Due to expectations, UNI has already risen by 26.5%. The price fluctuates around $6.27 and the token may break the $6.57 barrier. If the momentum continues, UNI could go towards $7.00 or even higher.

There are risks if investors take their profits before everything is executed. If sold too early, the upward momentum may be limited. In that case, UNI may struggle to reclaim $6.57 and instead hover just above the $6.02 support. This causes a delay in the bullish continuation but does not reverse the broader upward trend.
Midnight (NIGHT)
NIGHT has risen by 71% this week and has reached a new all-time high above $0.100 in the past 24 hours. The rally is due to strong interest from investors, especially as Midnight is being developed under the leadership of Charles Hoskinson. This gives the project a lot of credibility and visibility in the market.
The connection with Hoskinson is the main catalyst. If investor confidence remains during the holidays, the upward momentum may continue. Sustained demand could bring NIGHT above the all-time high of $0.120. If conditions are favorable, the price could even rise towards $0.150.
However, the risk of a correction remains high after this rapid increase. Early profit-taking could lead to a pullback. If selling pressure increases, NIGHT could drop below the $0.100 support. If this level breaks, the price could drop to $0.075, invalidating the bullish expectation.
Aave (AAVE)
Aave is the only major token this week that is correcting, with a decline of 14.84% to a price around $160. This contrasts with the increases in the broader market. Despite this weakness, AAVE may attempt to recover if investors reassess the fundamentals and upcoming governance plans.
A potential catalyst is that a Phase 1 vote has recently been announced regarding the AAVE token alignment. The proposal aims to place control over Aave’s brand name and assets under a DAO structure with protection against takeover. If this proposal is supported, it could build more confidence and push the price of AAVE above $164. $180 then becomes a realistic recovery target.
The risks on the downside remain if investors do not show support. Sustained doubt could create additional selling pressure. In that scenario, AAVE may drop below the support of $157. If the decline continues towards $150, it would invalidate the bullish expectation and strengthen the short-term bearish sentiment.
