However, QCP Capital analysts added that "a sleepy market may get caught offside and our bet is on the bullish side, particularly for ether." They suggested a bullish ether move could occur if spot ether ETFs start trading earlier than expected in June.Strijers added that there are derivatives indicators that show traders are purchasing puts in order to hedge against a potential downside in the asset's price over the coming weeks.
