Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, said in a post on X that the market remains in a bull trend and that consolidation at resistance levels, as well as pullbacks after sharp gains, should be seen as normal price action. He said his approach is to close long positions at higher levels and wait for a reasonable pullback before going long again. Yi added that, in his view, the market will remain in a bull trend at least through 2028, and he advised traders to avoid short positions as much as possible. He also said risk assets are entering an investment window and argued that artificial intelligence is still far from bubble territory. Based on that view, he said the current period calls for a focus on two areas: risk assets and AI-related opportunities. The remarks were carried by Odaily in a market analysis newsflash.

BlockBeats reported on Aug. 24 that Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, said the market was rebounding quickly as expected, while bears tried to push back over the weekend. He said traders should not short in a bull market. Yi laid out three core opportunities for this cycle: BTC and ETH could deliver more than 3x returns, with ETH outperforming BTC on the rebound; on-chain finance remains a key demand driver built around stablecoins; and AI plus crypto could see major opportunities as AI products generate demand and revenue while crypto serves as the incentive layer.

Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, formerly LD Capital, said in a post on Aug. 24 that he had shared several major market views over the past six months, including calling for a rebound from the previous low, judging in May that the rebound had ended, and repeatedly describing July and August over the past two months as the last buying opportunity. He added that such calls do not mean anyone can be right all the time. In his view, every investment and trade is a new starting point, which makes caution, humility, and sound risk management essential. Yi also said posting on X has been a useful way for him to learn and iterate on his own thinking, and that being right or wrong at times is entirely normal. The remarks were reported by BlockBeats and framed as a reflection on trading discipline rather than a claim of constant accuracy.

BlockBeats reported on Aug. 22 that Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, formerly LD Capital, said he remains bullish. He described the weekend pullback as a brief pushback from bears during a period of weaker liquidity and said it does not affect the trend. Yi strongly advised against opening new short positions. He also said positions can be reduced once prices reach a certain level, and that pullbacks tend to happen at stage-specific levels.

Bitcoin climbed back above $78,000 on August 21, gaining more than 9% in 24 hours and over 20% in three trading sessions. The rally came after a months-long slide that took the token from a $126,000 peak in October 2025 to around $57,000 in early July 2026, a drop of roughly 54% from the high. Traders and analysts cited a mix of macro relief, a U.S. Treasury buyback expansion, policy signals from Washington and heavy short liquidation. Coinglass said more than 160,000 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours, with total losses of $1.321 billion and $1.149 billion from shorts alone. Beyond the move itself, the market is still split: some see a confirmed trend break, while others say the rebound has not yet proved it can hold.

Liquid Capital founder JackYi said in an X post that after calling an end to the rebound phase in May, his team spent the past two months focused on one trade: treating July and August as the final window to buy the dip. He argued that Bitcoin has now broken above its 120-day and 200-day moving averages on the daily chart and above the 20-week moving average on the weekly chart, which in his view means the bear trend has officially ended. JackYi said he expects the market to remain bullish over the next two weeks. He also said a pullback is likely once prices reach a certain level, though he does not expect that correction to exceed 50% of the prior advance. For leveraged positions, he suggested closing longs and using Bitcoin’s 2023 weekly advance-and-pullback pattern as a reference. JackYi added that Bitcoin’s drop from 126,000 to 57,000, or 56%, marked the low, and said it will be difficult to see Bitcoin trade in the 50,000 range again.

Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, formerly LD Capital, said he has spent the past two months watching whether July and August would offer what he called the last buying opportunity in this BTC cycle. He argued that Bitcoin’s daily breakout above the 120-day and 200-day moving averages, along with a weekly move above the 20-week moving average, means the bear trend has ended. He also said the next two weeks still look bullish, though a pullback could follow after prices rise to a certain level. For traders using leverage, he advised reducing long positions and referring to the weekly trend and pullback range seen in the 2023 upcycle. He added that Bitcoin’s drop from $126,000 to $57,000, a decline of about 56%, has already formed the cycle low, making another BTC price starting with $50,000 less likely.

Arthur Yi, founder of Liquid Capital, formerly known as LD Capital, said doubts about crypto’s value tend to resurface in every bear market, but his long-term view on the sector remains unchanged. In a post published on Aug. 20, Yi argued that crypto’s core value lies in on-chain finance, describing blockchain as a system that is moving financial assets and use cases from the traditional world onto the chain while improving convenience and transparency. He pointed to gold, the U.S. dollar and U.S. equities as examples. In his view, BTC serves as a more portable, easier-to-store and easier-to-trade on-chain counterpart to gold, while stablecoins offer a freer account-opening model and global dollar circulation. He added that traditional assets such as U.S. stocks are also gradually being represented on-chain. Yi said the biggest value of crypto is the freedom enabled by on-chain finance. He also named AI as another major direction in technology, calling it a new opportunity at the intersection of finance and tech. That view, he said, is why he has long emphasized a portfolio approach split between crypto and AI.
