11-6-2025 – Jack Yi, the founder of LD Capital, expressed strong bullish sentiment for Ethereum (ETH), citing a massive build-up of short positions across multiple trading platforms. Yi believes this scenario could set the stage for a significant short squeeze that could drive ETH to $3,000 or even as high as $3,500–$4,000.
Yi pointed out that short interest has reached critical mass, with $1.3 billion in shorts on CME, $1 billion on AAVE, and another $3 billion across various other platforms, totalling a staggering $5 billion. This heavy short positioning, he suggests, could lead to forced buying if Ethereum’s price begins to rise rapidly—pushing prices dramatically higher.
Jack Yi backs outlook with 100,000 ETH call options
Reinforcing his bullish outlook, Yi disclosed that he personally holds 100,000 ETH call options, reflecting his high conviction in Ethereum’s near-term growth potential. This strategic bet aligns with his market outlook and further exemplifies his confidence in a strong ETH rebound.
LD Capital’s trend research division sees $42M in gains
LD Capital’s Trend Research division echoes Yi’s positive forecast, currently holding 142,000 ETH acquired at lower levels. The firm began accumulating ETH when the price hovered around $1,400, and has since recorded unrealised profits of $42.35 million.
The division was also one of the earliest to issue a bullish call when Ethereum crossed the $1,800 mark, showcasing the firm’s analytical foresight and strategic positioning in the market.
