Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua expressed on social media:"The community is confused. Trend Research is buying heavily, BMNR and MicroStrategy are buying, Zhao Changpeng is calling for a super bull market cycle, yet the coin prices remain weak and volatile. What is the reason for this? After all, the stock market and gold/silver are skyrocketing. We see several main reasons including:Four-year cycle and the 1011 crashYen interest rate hikesNo new purchases in the U.S. BTC strategic reservesShort sellers taking advantage of the current situation to drive prices downSafe-haven funds in gold, silver, and the stock marketHowever, analyzing from a contrarian perspective, at a time when so many bearish factors are present, ETH remains stable, oscillating around 3000. This is also the reason we decided to build positions after liquidating at 4500. Many people suggested we wait to buy, as there would be better entry points, but investment trading does not have a god's eye view; it is difficult to know what the lowest point will be. The difference between investment and speculation is that we find it hard to engage in short-term trading; even if we have significant unrealized gains, we remain inactive, setting our buy and sell strategies based on a medium to long-term timeline."
