Today, the situation has changed, with BTC currently down 14% from its peak.In general, the past few weeks have seen relatively low volatility, resulting in a stable price range between $55K and $65K.As we can see from this chart, BTC&#39;s volatility is now around 50, after surpassing 85 in the early months of the year.<img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeTqSjM1wQuysL1V3ivFHuFSElhvA8LrFQXZAo9coRJIuEsFaP0P5u4-fqselPdQ9IJ69cgt94E1uH5YPCSu6ne662AiW-4417C5_xztdN__-d2oQsJlsWlLgRF_cBQtMxghqECeYd1xEjsSsC3-sgpAfo?key&#61;WzHNhO3u1kEXzoxBLkdO0Q" />Bitcoin volatility index<h3 id="ether-etfs-are-coming">Ether - ETFs are coming</h3><h2 id="header-2"><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXczm7E8sH5oqIUtNaEhX9vPiwgqkKueVu1BaQRj2BT4uGzn8mEPBnJd1G1lJlbvyTtgsoNgooLcX17IORbhzPh-4kuY8ZnFp2mFM7OjO6Ybih-1AfgRZ-UbkWUtArzjUN9ANUPlKddERqFIf9BwSUZ9_x3B?key&#61;WzHNhO3u1kEXzoxBLkdO0Q" /></h2>Ether price actionThe last few trading days have pushed the price of ETH above the key resistance level of $3,300. This price action is still very similar to BTC&#39;s, although it can be described as slightly more volatile, with the May 20th candle leading to millions of dollars in liquidations.However, ETH has a significant catalyst that could influence its price action: the start of trading for its spot ETFs.These were approved about a month ago, but trading has not yet started as they are awaiting specific documentation called S-1.This documentation is expected to be approved by the U.S. SEC this week, and thus, ETH&#39;s price could experience significant movements in the coming days.<h3 id="gold-another-all-time-high">Gold - Another All-Time High</h3><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcdDZHJqB3kBerUIZShU4cWpFTxxKQpW9aIJyF6WkhLSIHlIEbNmzcBGx_m0KTejU5sQTdMWuuTegBvUoKYoe-wkAD8niei50AhARUve1IwXoU8hbAE4cg_gjk5lhKctmNfY8RqKCJMXbG0lRGwVNU8Cm58?key&#61;WzHNhO3u1kEXzoxBLkdO0Q" />Gold price actionIn the last episode of this series, we celebrated gold reaching a new all-time high of around $2,200.A few months later, gold has continued to rise, and at this moment, an ounce of gold is worth over $2,411!The reasons for this increase are undoubtedly found in the global uncertainty related to the numerous ongoing wars and potential conflicts in the coming months.This uncertainty has led to a unique situation where gold is at historic highs, yet the stock market is also hitting new highs.<h3 id="op-one-of-the-most-volatile-altcoins">OP - One of the most volatile altcoins</h3><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfm45vc20ItcMJld3346lMp0EhjwMu8Mdfc-17u6qdP0x7Ho868NjaWFi6BIer8cOzJuzRZIYD0Nu9gAkvIF0-aXPnEV8Q5AcZ4Bsukd7K6d3rWComfwVe4IUKnoG1BdNv0HAA-Wpqn_tsAWQHinlzC2onl?key&#61;WzHNhO3u1kEXzoxBLkdO0Q" /><a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/OPUSDT/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">OP price action</a>The OP token has been one of the hardest hit during this quiet summer period within the sector.After reaching a high of over $4.80 in March 2024, the token is now trading at $1.80, having hit a relative low of $1.25.As we mentioned in the last episode, this is one of the most volatile crypto-assets, and implementing hedging strategies through MetalSwap can make a real difference during periods like the ones we’ve seen in recent months.<h2 id="header-3">Conclusion</h2>After the first quarter of 2024, characterized by euphoria and high volatility, we are now experiencing a calmer and more stable period.Nevertheless, volatility will return, both due to internal sector reasons, such as the launch of Ethereum ETFs, and external factors, such as the geopolitical situation or the outcome of the U.S. elections.For any eventuality, MetalSwap is the tool suited to either neutralize this volatility or leverage it to secure extra profits.-The DeFi Foundation<h2 id="header-4">✎ What is MetalSwap?</h2>MetalSwap is a decentralized platform that allows Hedging Contract on financial markets with the aim of providing coverage to those who work with Digital Asset and an investment opportunity for those who contribute to increase the shared liquidity of the project.
