The first week of the last month of 2025 and the fourth quarter may bring significant volatility as the cryptocurrency markets strive to find their balance. This benefits tokens that are already investing in the development of their networks and can leverage the situation.
BeInCrypto has analyzed three altcoins that investors should pay attention to this weekend.
THORChain (RUNE)
The price of RUNE may rise this weekend as THORChain prepares for the V3.14.0 update. The update includes several fixes and performance improvements that may increase investor confidence. Such updates often support short-term price rallies by reinforcing network stability and enhancing user experience.
If the trend grows, RUNE may exceed the $0.687 threshold. The Parabolic SAR is currently below the candlesticks, indicating an active upward trend that could drive the price to $0.717 or even $0.765. Sustained positive sentiment is crucial for the continuation of the movement.

If the upward momentum weakens, RUNE may drop toward the $0.644 support level. Falling below this area would undermine market confidence and nullify the current optimistic view, opening the door for a deeper decline toward the $0.607 level.
Aerodrome Finance (AERO)
AERO is trading at $0.683, remaining below the $0.718 resistance level after recovering from the $0.596 support. The altcoin briefly lost the $0.655 floor but was able to quickly recover, indicating improving sentiment as investors await clearer signs of an upward trend.
Aerodrome Finance's announcement that its primary domain will be restored this week could boost confidence. The platform's centralized domains were hijacked on November 21 and redirected to malicious content. However, a re-release with new infrastructure could bolster trust and push AERO above $0.718 towards $0.814.
If the upward momentum weakens, AERO may remain in the range between $0.718 and $0.655. Falling below $0.655 would undermine the current outlook and nullify the upward expectations.
Pippin (PIPPIN)
Another altcoin of the weekend is PIPPIN, which is one of the strongest meme coins of the week, rising 194% in seven days. The token is trading at $0.181, just below the $0.193 resistance level. Its sharp rise underscores increased speculative interest as investors seek to capitalize on momentum-driven profits.
If investor confidence holds and the broader market sentiment remains positive, PIPPIN may continue its ascent. A successful breakout above $0.193 could push the meme coin toward $0.255, and surpassing this level may open doors to $0.330 as upward pressure increases.
However, profits remain a significant risk. If holders start to realize their profits, PIPPIN could retreat to the $0.136 level, and losing this support could trigger a deeper decline toward $0.100. Any drop below this level would nullify the current upward expectations.
