3 Made in USA Cryptos to Watch as Christmas and New Year 2026 Approach

Jakarta, Pintu News – As Christmas and the new year approach, the market’s attention is slowly shifting to one particular category – Made in USA – which recorded a decline of more than 2% in the past week.

Some coins in this category are starting to show early signals that usually appear before short-term moves, driven by momentum changes, on-chain activity, and time-based events.

With Christmas and the new year just a few days away, traders are now looking for opportunities where price strength, market structure and catalyst momentum interplay. Three US-based projects are now starting to stand out – not because of hype, but because the data suggests that the next move may be before the new year begins.

Kaspa (KAS)

Kaspa (KAS) has been one of the few Made in USA coins to show strength across multiple short-term time frames. In the past month, KAS gained around 22%, as well as recording positive results in the 7-day and 24-hour periods.

However, overall, KAS is still down around 41% in the last three months. This combination is important – it shows short-term strength within a broader downtrend, often an area where reversal patterns start to form.

The first signal came from momentum. Between October 10 and December 18, the Kaspa price printed lower lows, while the RSI (Relative Strength Index) formed higher lows. RSI measures market momentum. When the price weakens but the RSI increases, it indicates that selling pressure is starting to ease.

A similar RSI divergence pattern also appeared between October 10 and November 21. After that signal, KAS rallied about 74% in a short period of time. This time, the price has moved up about 18%, showing that this setup is active, not just theoretical.

In terms of price structure, Kaspa formed an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern with an ascending neckline. This pattern indicates that buyers start to enter early whenever there is a price drop. The first level to look out for is $0.062, where the price of KAS was stuck before.

If the price manages to break that level cleanly, the next target is around $0.079, the neckline area which will be the next test of momentum strength. Having said that, KAS remains on the Christmas and new year watchlist for now.

However, the risks are also clear. A drop below $0.040 would weaken this setup, and a break below $0.036 would completely invalidate the bullish scenario.

Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap (UNI) became one of the few Made in USA coins to show strength ahead of Christmas 2025 and the new year.

In the last seven days, UNI is up about 15% and has remained stable in the last 24 hours, despite the general sideways movement of the crypto market. This relative strength is important because a major governance event will take place right on Christmas.

The vote on Uniswap’s long-discussed “fee switch” proposal will end on December 25. If approved, this change will enable protocol fees while introducing a UNI token burning mechanism.

Simply put, a portion of the trading costs will be used to gradually remove UNI from supply. The market often discounts the effect of events like this early, which could explain why UNI has outperformed the market recently.

On the technical front, the chart also supports the narrative. On the 12-hour timeframe, UNI is again trading above the 100-period EMA. The EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is a price average that gives greater weight to recent movements, helping traders identify momentum shifts.

Currently, the 20-period EMA is close to crossing above the 50-period EMA, which is a short-term bullish signal.

Price levels are important:

• A clean break above $6.49 could open up an upside opportunity towards $8.18 (approx. +29%).
• If the momentum continues, the next major resistance is at $10.35.
• On the downside, $6.03 is a key support level. If it fails to hold there, sentiment could turn negative and a “sell the news” effect could emerge, with a potential drop towards $4.86.

With the Christmas vote fast approaching and technical momentum improving, UNI stands out as one of the event-driven Made in USA coins worth monitoring towards the end of the year.

Zcash (ZEC)

Zcash (ZEC) becomes the last Made in USA coin worth keeping an eye on ahead of Christmas 2025 and the new year, and stands out for one main reason – the whales are back in action.

On-chain data shows two large transactions out of Binance in the last 24 hours. One wallet withdrew 202,077 ZEC worth about $91.4 million, while another wallet withdrew 4,257 ZEC worth about $1.9 million. In total, more than $93 million worth of ZEC left the exchange. Large movements out of the exchange like this usually signal accumulation, not preparation to sell.

This activity is important because the Zcash price is still stuck in a narrow range. Since December 19, ZEC has been moving between $423 to $470, and has failed to break upwards several times.

However, while still in a range, the technical structure is starting to improve. On the 12-hour chart, Zcash is now trading above the major EMA, and a bullish crossover between the 20 EMA and 50 EMA is starting to form – a setup that often signals a short-term trend strengthening when confirmed.

If ZEC manages to close the 12-hour candle above $470, it will mark a breakout from the consolidation zone. The next target is at $547, which is the next major resistance. If momentum picks up quickly, higher levels around $737 could potentially be seen again – although that remains dependent on broader market support.

However, the risk side is also clear. If whale accumulation slows down and the EMA crossover fails, then $423 becomes the key support. A drop below this level could open the way towards $389, potentially even dropping further to around $302, an area where long-term buyers have previously started to step in.

Conclusion: Zcash may seem quiet, but it is in a crucial position. Accumulation by whales, an improving EMA structure, and a tight price range make these few days leading up to Christmas and the new year very important.

The next direction of ZEC will most likely be determined by the $470 level – whether it triggers an upside breakout, or returns to the consolidation phase.
