The first week of the last month of 2025, as well as Q4, is likely to note considerable volatility as the crypto market attempts to find its footing. This will benefit the tokens that are already looking at network developments and could capitalize on the same.

BeInCrypto has analysed three such altcoins that the investors should keep an eye on this weekend.

THORChain (RUNE)

RUNE price could see a weekend jump as THORChain prepares for its V3.14.0 release. The update includes several fixes and performance improvements that may boost investor confidence. Such upgrades often support short-term rallies by reinforcing network stability and enhancing user experience.

If momentum builds, RUNE could break above the $0.687 barrier. The Parabolic SAR currently sits below the candlesticks, signaling an active uptrend that may push the price toward $0.717 or even $0.765. Sustained bullish sentiment will be essential for extending this move.

If bullish momentum fades, RUNE may drop toward the $0.644 support level. A breakdown below this zone would weaken market confidence and invalidate the current bullish outlook. This would open the door for a deeper pullback toward $0.607.

Aerodrome Finance (AERO)

AERO is trading at $0.683, holding below the $0.718 resistance after rebounding from the $0.596 support. The altcoin briefly lost the $0.655 floor but managed a quick recovery, signaling improving sentiment as traders watch for clearer bullish confirmation.

Aerodrome Finance’s announcement that its primary domain will be restored this week could lift confidence. The platform’s centralized domains were hijacked on November 21 and redirected to malicious content. However, the relaunch on new infrastructure may strengthen trust and push AERO above $0.718 toward $0.814.

If bullish momentum weakens, AERO may remain rangebound between $0.718 and $0.655. A breakdown below $0.655 would undermine the current outlook and invalidate the bullish thesis.

Pippin (PIPPIN)

Another one of the altcoins this weekend is PIPPIN, which is among the week’s strongest meme coin performers, rallying 194% in seven days. The token is trading at $0.181, sitting just below the $0.193 resistance. Its sharp rise highlights heightened speculative interest as traders look for momentum-driven gains.

If investor confidence holds and broader market sentiment stays bullish, PIPPIN could extend its uptrend. A successful breakout above $0.193 may send the meme coin toward $0.255, and surpassing that level could open the door to $0.330 as upside pressure builds.

However, profit-taking remains a major risk. If holders begin securing gains, PIPPIN could retrace to $0.136, and losing that support may trigger a deeper decline to $0.100. Any drop beyond that point would invalidate the current bullish thesis.
