• Uniswap rallies on UNIfication proposal, with token burn tightening supply ahead of vote.
• Midnight surges to new highs as Hoskinson link fuels strong Christmas-week momentum.
• Aave eyes recovery as governance vote may revive confidence after sharp correction.

The Christmas week has been a historically volatile period, although it has not always led to a surge in the value of crypto tokens. Thus, to turn the volatility into bullishness, tokens ought to rely on other factors as well.

BeInCrypto has analysed three such altcoins that have certain factors acting as catalysts that could rally their price around Christmas 2025.

Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap is drawing strong investor attention as the UNIfication proposal advances toward approval. With voting still open until December 25, support already stands at 97.8%. The overwhelming backing signals high confidence in the upgrade, increasing speculative interest, and driving elevated trading activity around UNI.

The proposal includes burning 100 million UNI tokens, tightening supply, and strengthening price dynamics. Anticipation has already pushed UNI up 26.5%. Trading near $6.27, the token could break above $6.57. Sustained momentum may carry UNI toward $7.00 and potentially higher levels.

Risks remain if profit-taking accelerates before implementation. Premature selling could cap upside momentum. In that case, UNI may struggle to reclaim $6.57 and instead consolidate above the $6.02 support. Such price action would delay the bullish continuation without reversing the broader uptrend.

Midnight (NIGHT)

NIGHT has surged 71% over the past week, setting a new all-time high above $0.100 in the last 24 hours. The rally is driven by strong investor interest, fueled by Midnight’s development under Charles Hoskinson, which has significantly boosted credibility and market visibility.

The association remains the primary catalyst. If investor conviction holds through the holiday period, upside momentum may persist. Sustained demand could push NIGHT beyond the $0.120 all-time high. Under favorable conditions, the price may extend gains toward the $0.150 level.

Downside risk remains elevated after a rapid advance. Early profit-taking could trigger a correction. If selling pressure increases, NIGHT may slip below the $0.100 support. A breakdown at that level could send the price toward $0.075, invalidating the bullish outlook.

Aave (AAVE)

Aave is the only major token this week to post a correction, falling 14.84% and trading near $160. The decline contrasts with broader market rallies. Despite recent weakness, AAVE may attempt a recovery as investors reassess fundamentals and upcoming governance developments.

The potential catalyst comes from Aave’s newly announced Phase 1 vote on AAVE token alignment. The proposal seeks to place control of Aave’s brand assets under a DAO-controlled structure with anti-capture protections. If supported, this governance shift could improve confidence and lift AAVE above $164, with $180 as a stronger recovery target.

Downside risks remain if investor support fails to materialize. Continued hesitation could extend selling pressure. In that scenario, AAVE may slip below the $157 support. A deeper decline toward $150 would invalidate the bullish outlook and reinforce short-term bearish sentiment.
