BlockBeats News, January 24 — Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua responded to his ETH long strategy with a post:
Regarding “ETH below the previous cycle’s top, BTC above the previous cycle’s top?” Yi Lihua stated that this cycle is in a rate hike period, with BTC breaking new highs, but the overall crypto market performance is poor, marking the most difficult phase in the past four years. With the arrival of a rate cut cycle, he is optimistic about the start of a bull market, and ETH is expected to outperform BTC. Historical bull markets also show ETH’s gains surpassing BTC.
“Buying the dip around $3000 ETH, worried about a continued bear market?” Yi Lihua believes the four-year cycle pattern has become invalid. Currently, it is the best time to bottom out in crypto, especially for ETH. The opportunities for on-chain financial services with stablecoins and US bonds are huge, and ETH will be the biggest beneficiary. Regarding the safety of ETH leveraged positions, Yi Lihua said he is well prepared and can repay most borrowed positions at any time. ETH prices above $1000 are absolutely safe.
“Why rush to buy the dip instead of waiting for lower prices?” Yi Lihua said no one can precisely buy the bottom. The last BTC bull market example also showed little difference. The core is that the current area is already the bottom; even if you don’t buy, the market will buy. The influence of institutional size on trend is limited. “How to view the bearish KOL mocking the bulls,” he said the market is coexistence of bulls and bears. If all parties’ views are reasonable, they will be referenced and learned from; extreme or low-quality exposure behaviors should be ignored.
“Frequent Twitter updates calling for ETH to go long, reasons for clearing at $4500?” Yi Lihua stated that he remains long-term optimistic about ETH. The $4500 clearing is a response to phased risks, with transparent operations, aimed at acquiring more ETH rather than taking over positions. He mentioned ETH’s total market cap is $360 billion, and even one of the world’s largest ETH investors cannot influence the trend. Everything should follow the trend.
