Before the Christmas holidays, attention is quietly shifting to a specific category of the market – coins 'made in USA' – which has fallen by over 2% week over week. Several coins from this sector are starting to show early signals that often appear before short-term moves driven by momentum changes, on-chain activity, and time-sensitive events.

The holidays of 2025 are just a few days away. Traders are looking for setups where price strength, structure, and timing of the catalyst convergence come together. Three such projects from the USA are now standing out. This is not happening due to hype, but because the data suggests that their next move will occur later this year.

Made in USA: Kaspa (KAS)

Kaspa (KAS) stands out as one of the few coins made in the USA showing strength in short timeframes. In the last month, KAS has risen by about 22%. It is also positive on the weekly and daily charts. At the same time, over the last three months, it is down about 41%. This mix matters. It shows short-term strength in a broader bearish trend – that's often where the first reversal signals form.

The first signal comes from momentum. Between October 10 and December 18, the price of Kaspa established a lower low while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) created a higher low. RSI measures momentum. If the price weakens but RSI improves, selling pressure decreases.

The same divergence on the RSI was visible between October 10 and November 21. After this signal, KAS rose by about 74% in a short time. Now the price has already moved by about 18%, showing that the setup works and is not purely theoretical.

The structure gives another signal. Kaspa is forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern with a rising neckline. This pattern suggests that buyers are stepping in earlier at every dip. The first level to watch is 0.062 USD. There, the KAS price previously halted. A strong breakout above this level could open the way towards the neckline around 0.079 USD. There, a momentum test will appear again. This keeps KAS on the holiday list.

The risks are clear. A drop below 0.040 USD would weaken the setup. A break below 0.036 USD would completely invalidate the bullish scenario.

Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap is one of the few coins made in the USA with strength leading up to the holidays in 2025. UNI has risen by about 15% in the last seven days, and over the last 24 hours maintained its level, although the broader market has oscillated sideways. This relative strength matters because a major event regarding project management will take place during the holidays.

Voting on the long-discussed Uniswap proposal to activate fees ends on December 25. If the proposal passes, the change will activate protocol fees and the UNI burning mechanism. In short – part of the trading fees will gradually remove UNI from supply. Markets often price in such events early, which explains why UNI has performed better than the market recently.

The chart confirms this picture. On the 12-hour interval, UNI is trading above the 100-period exponential moving average (EMA). The EMA, or exponential moving average, tracks the average price with a greater weight on recent candles. Traders use EMA crossovers to detect momentum changes. The 20-period EMA is about to cross above the 50-period EMA from below – this is a short bullish signal.

Price levels are clear. A strong breakout above 6.49 USD opens the way to 8.18 USD, which equals a move of about 29%. Higher, at 10.35 USD, lies another major resistance if momentum holds. On the downside, key support is at 6.03 USD. Breaking this level could turn the fee activation into a 'sell on the news' event, revealing 4.86 USD.

With voting during the holidays and increasing momentum, UNI stands out as one of the most eventful coins made in the USA to watch.

Made in USA: Zcash (ZEC)

Zcash is the last coin made in the USA in the spotlight for the holidays in 2025 – it stands out for one reason. Whales have returned.

On-chain data shows two large withdrawals from Binance in the last 24 hours. One wallet withdrew 202,077 ZEC worth about 91.4 million USD. The other withdrew 4,257 ZEC, or about 1.9 million USD. In total, that's over 93 million USD worth of ZEC leaving exchanges. Withdrawing large amounts from exchanges usually suggests accumulation, not preparation for sale.

This activity is important as the price of Zcash is stuck in a narrow range. Since December 19, ZEC has been trading between 423 USD and 470 USD, repeatedly unsuccessfully trying to break higher. Despite this, the structure is improving. On the 12-hour chart, Zcash is currently above the major moving averages (EMA). A bullish cross is also forming between the 20 EMA and the 50 EMA. Such a setup usually signals an improvement in short-term trend strength when confirmed.

If ZEC records a clear close of the 12-hour candle above 470 USD, it will break out of this consolidation zone. This opens the door to the 547 USD level, which is the next major resistance. If momentum rises quickly, levels around 737 USD will reappear, although this will depend on the support of the entire market.

The bearish scenario is also clear. If whale buying weakens and the EMA cross fails, 423 USD remains key support. Breaking this level reveals 389 USD and a greater risk of dropping to 302 USD, where long-term buyers appeared earlier.

In summary, Zcash is calm but prepared. Whale accumulation, improved EMA structure, and a narrow range make the next few days crucial. Whether ZEC breaks above 470 USD before the holidays depends on that one level.
