Predicting Ethereum Price Using Machine Learning Models: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

The cryptocurrency market, known for its high volatility and immense data availability, provides an excellent opportunity for predictive modeling. This paper explores the prediction of Ethereum’s price using four distinct models: Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTM), and CNN-LSTM hybrid models. The study evaluates the performance of these models based on metrics such as Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Rsquared ( R2 ), and Accuracy (%). The findings highlight that Logistic Regression outperformed the other models with the lowest MSE (6741.12) and highest accuracy (98.66% ) [Table 1]. This research demonstrates the potential of combining traditional and advanced machine learning techniques to achieve robust price prediction in the cryptocurrency domain.
