How Machine Learning Methods Unravel the Mystery of Bitcoin Price Predictions

Abstract

Machine learning has a wide range of applications to meet the complexity of data and various expectations for prediction types.In this study, a comprehensive review of various machine learning approaches for Bitcoin price prediction will be proposed.After examining previous research on cryptocurrency prediction using Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), Multi-layer Perceptions (MLP), and Support Vector Machine (SVM), with the focus on LSTM, it can be found that LSTM is a widely employed method in Bitcoin price prediction because of its advantages in incorporating both long-term and short-term dependencies.This paper reviews a series of research papers by comparing the differences between the methods they implemented, to a limited extent, based on their predictive power, replicability, and model limitations.Furthermore, some potential improvements and explored innovations for future studies also be discussed.
