Comparison of Price-Volume Correlation for Some Cryptocurrencies Based on MF-ADCCA

Abstract

In this paper, we explored the price-volume cross-correlation asymmetric multifractal properties of some cryptocurrencies using multifractal asymmetric detrended cross-correlation analysis (MF-ADCCA). Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Binance Coin, Cardano, and Dogecoin are examples of cryptocurrencies. The empirical results reveal that the price-volume cross-correlations of all six cryptocurrencies display anti-persistent, multifractal, and asymmetric features, although the degree of these characteristics differs depending on the cryptocurrencies and market trends. Specifically, the anti-persistence multifractal of the price-volume cross-correlation is significantly stronger in the upward market than in the downward market for Bitcoin and Ethereum; for the remaining four cryptocurrencies, the opposite result is obtained. Furthermore, Dogecoin price-volume cross-correlation exhibits the most marked anti-persistence and the most significant asymmetric multifractality among the six cryptocurrencies analyzed.
