Christmas week has always been a very volatile period. Although it does not always lead to an increase in the value of crypto coins, in order to turn the volatility into an uptrend, the coins must rely on other factors as well.
BeInCrypto has analyzed three altcoin coins with certain factors that could drive their prices up during this Christmas 2025.
Uniswap (UNI)
Uniswap is receiving significant attention from investors as the UNIfication proposal moves towards approval, with voting open until December 25. Currently, there is support as high as 97.8%. This overwhelming support reflects confidence in the upgrade, enhancing speculative interest and stimulating trading activity on UNI further.
This proposal includes the burning of 100 million UNI coins, which will tighten supply and support price dynamics. These expectations have already driven UNI up by 26.5%, currently trading near USD 6.27, with the coin potentially breaking above USD 6.57 if momentum continues. UNI has the chance to head towards USD 7.00 and may reach even higher levels.

Risks remain if profit-taking increases before the proposal is actually implemented. Selling too early may limit upward momentum. If so, UNI may struggle to reclaim levels above USD 6.57 and could oscillate above the support at USD 6.02, which in this manner could delay the upward trend without changing the main bullish market direction.
Midnight (NIGHT)
NIGHT surged by 71% over the past week, reaching a new high above USD 0.100 in the last 24 hours. This significant buying was driven by investor confidence and the development of Midnight under the leadership of Charles Hoskinson, giving the coin credibility and clear recognition in the market.
The relationship in this network is considered a key factor. If investor confidence remains throughout the festival, upward momentum may continue. Strong demand could push NIGHT to soar above the previous high of USD 0.120, and if conditions are favorable, the price could rise to USD 0.150.
Downside risks remain high after a rapid increase, and early profit-taking could trigger a correction. If selling pressure increases, NIGHT may breach the support level of USD 0.100, and if the price falls below this level, it could move closer to USD 0.075, resulting in the positive outlook being invalidated.
Aave (AAVE)
Aave is the only major coin this week that has retraced, dropping by 14.84%, and is still trading near USD 160. This decline is in stark contrast to the broader market recovery. However, despite the recent price weakness, it seems that AAVE may still attempt to recover if investors return to focus on fundamentals and upcoming governance changes.
Catalysts may come from the announcement of Aave's phase 1 voting on restructuring the AAVE token. This proposal aims to place control of Aave's brand assets under a DAO with measures to prevent dominance. Therefore, if the proposal receives support, it could build confidence and push AAVE's price above USD 164, with USD 180 as a stronger recovery target.
However, downside risks remain if investors do not return to support, and hesitation could prolong selling pressure. In this scenario, AAVE's price may drop below the support level at USD 157, and if it goes deep to USD 150, the positive outlook would be nullified, reinforcing short-term bearish momentum.
