EXTRAPOLATION USAGE FOR PREDICTING CRYPTOCURRENCY PRICING

Abstract

In this article, we delve into the challenging problem of forecasting cryptocurrency prices using mathematical extrapolation techniques. We highlight the scarcity of research in this domain, underlining the necessity for in-depth investigation. The article outlines the unresolved issues related to extrapolation-based cryptocurrency price prediction, such as market volatility and non-linearity. It primarily aims to showcase the potential of extrapolation for predicting bitcoin prices. The analysis involves a year-long bitcoin price trend, with the application of linear and polynomial extrapolation methods. While some correlation exists, notable discrepancies, especially during abrupt price changes, are evident. The conclusion emphasizes the limitations of extrapolation and advises a diversified approach to cryptocurrency investment decisions, considering various factors beyond mathematical data.
