3 Altcoins Set to Melt Like Snowmen in December 2026 🎄💥

by

Ah, Christmas week 2026-when the only thing more abundant than eggnog is the risk of your altcoins being liquidated like a poorly timed joke. 🎅💸

Which altcoins are at risk, and which drivers should investors watch when holding Long or Short positions? The following analysis explains the details-because nothing says “holiday cheer” like watching your portfolio go up in smoke. ❄️💣

1. Ethereum (ETH)

The 7-day ETH liquidation heatmap indicates that potential Long liquidations far exceed short liquidations. Because nothing says “festive” like your bets being wiped out by a Santa-sized market crash. 🎁💥

If ETH drops to the $2,660 zone during Christmas week, total Long liquidations could exceed $4 billion. In contrast, total Short liquidations could reach $1.65 billion if ETH rises to $3,370. Because why settle for one apocalypse when you can have two? 🧨🎄

If these factors strengthen, they could trigger a sharp bearish scenario. Such a move may lead to large-scale liquidations among Long traders. Because nothing says “merry” like losing your life savings to a crypto bear. 🐻📉

2. Midnight (NIGHT)

Midnight (NIGHT) has recently attracted significant trader attention. Open Interest surged from $15 million to over $90 million within two weeks. Because who needs sleep when you can chase a moonshot? 🌙🚀

Liquidation data suggests traders broadly expect NIGHT prices to keep rising. As a result, traders betting on bullish scenarios may face heavier losses due to increased capital and leverage usage. Because nothing says “holiday spirit” like leveraging your life savings on a token that might as well be a snowflake. ❄️💸

Cardanians, a company operating Cardano stake pools, reported that NIGHT now records daily trading volume of $6.8 billion. This figure exceeds the combined volumes of SOL, XRP, and BNB. Because why have three cryptocurrencies when you can have one that’s just as chaotic? 🧨💸

In addition, investor Plutus, citing DexHunter data, stated that 100% of current NIGHT holders who bought on the market are in profit. These holders may take profits at any time. Because nothing says “generosity” like selling your gains to fund a Christmas Eve shopping spree. 🛍️🎅

Higher! 🚀

These signals serve as a warning that profit-taking pressure on NIGHT could intensify this week. Because nothing says “seasonal cheer” like a whale dumping tokens to buy a new yacht. 🛥️🎄

Liquidation heatmaps show that if NIGHT falls to $0.077, cumulative Long liquidations could reach $15 million. Because why have one liquidation when you can have 15? 💸🧨

3. Audiera (BEAT)

A recent BeInCrypto report revealed that BEAT has surged more than 5,000% since its launch in November. The token reached an all-time high of $4.99. Because nothing says “holiday success” like a 5,000% increase. 🎉📈

However, many traders appear unsatisfied and continue to expect further upside. This sentiment seems in the liquidation data, where potential Long liquidations significantly outweigh Short liquidations. Because why settle for a profit when you can dream bigger? 🌟💸

Market data platform CoinAnk has issued warnings about the risk of liquidation. Because nothing says “caution” like a warning from a platform that’s probably also selling holiday gift cards. 🎁⚠️

“In a negative funding rate environment, although the cost of holding short positions remains low, extreme volatility in $BEAT can easily trigger cascading liquidations-affecting both long and short positions,” CoinAnk stated.

If BEAT falls below $3, total Long liquidations could reach $10 million. Because why have one liquidation when you can have ten? 💸🧨
