3 Altcoins to Watch This Weekend | December 20
The crypto market is heading into the last week of 2025, and this will be the second last weekend of the year. As Bitcoin and altcoins remain directionless, external factors may act as a catalyst in the coming days.
BeInCrypto analyzed three such altcoins that present interesting opportunities for investors this weekend.

midnight
NIGHT emerged as the best performing altcoin of the week, gaining 61% since launch. Strong early progress continues to attract speculative interest. The sharp increase reflects higher demand from traders seeking exposure to newly launched assets with strong growth narratives.
Investor interest is driven by NIGHT's development tie-in with Charles Hoskinson and the Cardano ecosystem via the Midnight blockchain. The token has now crossed a billion dollar market cap. Trading near $0.064, NIGHT could break $0.065 and $0.075, setting an all-time high at $0.088.

The downside risks remain high for a newly launched token. Taking premature profits can quickly change the momentum. If selling pressure increases, NIGHT may fall to $0.045. Such a move would erase recent gains, destroy the value of the bullish note, and increase short-term volatility.
Pump.fun (PUMP)
PUMP has moved against the NIGHT, ranking among the worst performing altcoins this week. The token fell more than 35%, trading near $0.00197. The persistent selling pressure reflects weak sentiment as investors continue to reduce exposure amid broader market uncertainty.

Despite the losses, technical indicators offer a sign of recovery. The Relative Strength Index has entered oversold territory, where selling pressure could be exhausting. If buyers enter, PUMP could rise above $0.00212 and extend the gain to the $0.00242 resistance level.
The recovery remains weak. Failure to attract buying interest can prolong losses. A break below current levels could send PUMP to support at $0.00171. Such action undermines the perception of cruelty and reinforces the continuing negative threat.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Bitcoin Cash jumped 8% today due to asset-specific activity rather than broader Bitcoin activity. The rally sparked market interest when ShapeShift founder Eric Voorhees exchanged 4,619 ETH for 24,950 BCH from a wallet he had been idle for nine years, valued at $13.42 million.
However, Eric Voorhees has confirmed that the wallet is not his, nor does it contain any BCH. However, the speculation-fueled rally could extend into the weekend.
Continued investor migration, evidenced by Chaikin's increasing cash flow, supports the above case. If the demand holds, BCH could break above $593 and rise to $624, indicating the strength of a short-term recovery led by renewed confidence.
If the speed is reduced, the side effects will continue. A failure to recover $593 could result in Bitcoin Cash holding below $600. In that case, weakening demand could drag BCH to $555 or below, reinforcing consolidation and devaluing the recent bullish outlook.
