The Causal Relationship between Cryptocurrencies and Other Major World Economic Assets: A Granger Causality Test

Umawadee Detthamrong, Seksak Prabpala, Akkharawoot Takhom, Nattapong Kaewboonma · 6 authors

This study examines the causal relationship between cryptocurrencies and other major world economic assets, such as gold, stocks, oil, and bonds, using both Granger causality and correlation analyses. The study focuses on the period between 2018 and 2022, using a vector autoregressive model (VAR) to analyze data on cryptocurrencies and other major world economic assets, which collectively represent over 90% of the market during the observed period. Results show that correlation clearly identifies causal interdependency between cryptocurrencies and other major world economic assets and that the variation in cryptocurrencies increasingly explains other major world economic assets. The results reveal that there is Granger causality between the cryptocurrencies (Tether, USD Coin, and Binance USD) and the other major world economic assets (BOND, SP500, and GOLD). Additionally, the study finds evidence that market inefficiency in the cryptocurrency market increased between 2018 and 2022. The findings suggest that the properties of the cryptocurrency market are highly dynamic and that researchers should be hesitant to generalize the market properties observed during idiosyncratic periods. The relevant information is swiftly reflected in asset prices when investors are more interested in a news event, increasing volatility. Strong evidence suggests that volatility spill overs increase sharply at this time. The structure of these markets frequently changes, and a large number of cryptocurrencies appear and disappear every day.

Bitcoin price forecasting using ARIMA model

Haolin Tian

The Bitcoin price was chosen as the research subject, and the observation period was set from January 2015 to September 2023. An ARIMA time series model was constructed to forecast the trading price. The results indicate that the optimal model for fitting the trading price is ARIMA (3, 2, 8). This model takes into account trends, seasonality, and other factors that may impact the price of Bitcoin. By analyzing the historical data, the model was able to accurately predict the short-term fluctuations in Bitcoin’s trading price. Based on this, short-term predictions were made for Bitcoin’s trading price in the next year. Recommendations were then provided by combining the forecast results with the economic development situation in the post-pandemic era. The recommendations suggest that Bitcoin has become a low-quality asset and is no longer suitable for diversifying one’s investment portfolio, but rather focus on the development of physical industries and adjust one’s investment portfolio in a timely manner.

D.M.D.K. Dasanayake, H.Y. Dilshan, H.D.K.Y. Rathnaweera, Sapumal Ahangama · 5 authors

The cryptocurrency and stock markets are dynamic environments that attract traders, seeking to enhance their investment returns. In cryptocurrency trading, there is a pullback in investors from trading due to recent market crashes, losses, and bankruptcies. For anticipating future market behavior, algorithmic trading has gained popularity due to its ability to provide consistent and accurate price and volatility predictions. Specifically, the bottom turning points of the market are where an investor can use to enter the market. Hence, identifying market turning points, particularly market bottoms, is vital in timing trading strategies for a maximum profit. This study introduces a novel and ground-breaking approach to market forecasting that focuses on identifying market bottoms, particularly in the domain of cryptocurrency trading. The study utilizes a Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (WGAN) with Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) to identify future market trends effectively. A classifier is added into the model as a substantial contribution to forecast future market bottoms by utilizing hidden WGAN features. The research findings indicate that the combination of the price prediction and bottom classification models provides outperforming results in terms of prediction accuracy. In addition, the suitability of the proposed solution for locating stock market bottoms has been evaluated.

GRU Prediction Method For Digital Cryptocurrency Prices

Mengxian Yao, Guang Sun, Jiale Liu

With the rapid development of the Internet, digital cryptocurrencies based on blockchain technology have been widely used globally. However, the huge volatility and high risk of cryptocurrency prices pose challenges for investors. To address this issue, predicting the prices of digital cryptocurrencies has become a research focus. However, most existing studies mainly focus on Bitcoin price prediction. This paper proposes a GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) model-based method for predicting the price of Dogecoin, a popular emerging cryptocurrency. The choice of Dogecoin is motivated by its high price volatility and prediction difficulty as a relatively new cryptocurrency. The GRU model is a variant of the recurrent neural network (RNN) that has better prediction performance compared to the LSTM model. With this method, we can effectively predict the price of Dogecoin, reducing investment risks for investors and providing reference for policymakers in regulating the digital currency market.

Cryptocurrency has emerged as a popular investment option due to its decentralized nature and potential for high returns. However, the cryptocurrency market is characterized by high volatility and price fluctuations, making it difficult for investors and traders to make informed decisions. This paper aims to address this challenge by performing a time series analysis of cryptocurrency prices to estimate values in real-time. To achieve this goal, historical price data for three cryptocurrencies—Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin are gathered and preprocessed. Following this, a range of time series techniques are used to analyze the patterns and trends in the data. This study focuses on hourly and daily data of the cryptocurrencies and employs three hybrid models such as CNN-LSTM (CLT), CNN-GRU (CGR), and CNN-BiLSTM (CBL) to forecast upcoming prices. Among three models, the CLT technique outperforms other models with RMSE of 235.97, MAE of 135.42, and MAPE of 0.47% on hourly Bitcoin price prediction. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in predicting the prices of cryptocurrencies in real-time.

Early Prediction of Cryptocurrency Price Decline: A Deep Learning Approach

Mst Shapna Akter, Hossain Shahriar, Md. Abdur Rahman, Muhammad Sabbir Rahman · 5 authors

In recent times, the cryptocurrency market has emerged as one of the fastest-growing financial markets worldwide. It is, however, known for its high volatility and illiquidity compared to traditional markets such as equities, foreign exchange, and commodities. This inherent risk creates uncertainty among investors. The aim of this research is to forecast the level of risk in the cryptocurrency market. To assist cryptocurrency investors in navigating these challenges, we propose an approach that involves calculating the risk factor based on existing parameters. We employed various machine learning algorithms, including CNN, LSTM, BiLSTM, and GRU, to predict the risk factor in twenty elements of the cryptocurrency market. Through extensive experimentation, we developed a new model that outperformed existing models, achieving the highest Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value of 1.3229 and the lowest RMSE value of 0.0089. Furthermore, we tested the generalization ability of our proposed model on a new dataset, different from the one used for training. Even with this new dataset, our model displayed robust performance. In contrast, the other existing models achieved higher RMSE values, with the highest being 14.5092 and the lowest 0.02769. By adopting our approach, investors can trade more confidently in complex and challenging financial assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin. Our proposed model demonstrates superior performance and generalization capabilities, providing valuable insights for participants in the cryptocurrency market.

EGARCH Model: Volatility Spillover Analysis of Bitcoin Price on Altcoin and S&P 500 Index

Melawati, Tri Gunarsih

This study aims to analyze the effect of Bitcoin price spillover volatility on Altcoin prices (Ethereum, Tether, Binance Coin) and the price of the S&P 500 Index. The data used is weekly data with a research period from January 2018 to December 2022. The analysis used in this study is the Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (EGARCH) model. The results show a volatility spillover effect between Bitcoin and Binance Coin with more positive shocks than adverse shocks in Bitcoin price volatility on Binance Coin price. Meanwhile, the spillover volatility between Bitcoin and Ethereum, Tether, and the S&P 500 Index cannot be known because the price data is homoscedastic, so it cannot be continued with EGARCH modelling because the data needs to meet the modelling requirements.

Evaluation of Cryptocurrency Price Prediction Using LSTM and CNNs Models

Ng Shi Wen, Lew Sook Ling

Cryptocurrencies created by Nakamoto in 2009 have gained significant interest due to their potential for high returns. However, the cryptocurrency market's unpredictability makes it challenging to forecast prices accurately. To tackle this issue, a deep learning model has been developed that utilizes Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to predict cryptocurrency prices. LSTMs, a type of recurrent neural network, are well-suited for analyzing time series data and have been successful in various prediction applications. Additionally, CNNs, primarily used for image analysis tasks, can be employed to extract relevant patterns and characteristics from input data in Bitcoin price prediction applications. This study contributes to the existing related works on cryptocurrency price prediction by exploring various predictive models and techniques, which involve a machine learning model, deep learning model, time series analysis, and as well as a hybrid model that combines deep learning methods to predict cryptocurrency prices as well as enhance the accuracy and reliability of the price predictions. To ensure accurate predictions in this study, a trustworthy dataset from investing.com was sought. The dataset, sourced from investing.com, consists of 1826 time series data samples. The dataset covers the time frame from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022, providing data for a period of 5 years. Subsequently, pre-processing was conducted on the dataset to guarantee the quality of the input. As a result of absent values and concerns regarding the dataset's obsolescence, an alternative dataset was sourced to avoid these issues. The performance of the LSTM and CNN models was evaluated using root mean squared error (RMSE), mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and R-squared (R2). It was observed that they outperformed each other to a certain degree in short-term forecasts compared to long-term predictions, where the R2Â values for LSTM range from 0.973 to 0.986, while for CNNs, they range from 0.972 to 0.988 for 1 day, 3 days and 7 days windows length. Nevertheless, the LSTM model demonstrated the most favorable performance with the lowest error rate. The RMSE values for the LSTM model ranged from 1203.97 to 1645.36, whereas the RMSE values for the CNNs model ranged from 1107.77 to 1670.93. As a result, the LSTM model exhibited a lower error rate in RMSE and achieved the highest accuracy in R2Â compared to the CNNs model. Considering these comparative outcomes, the LSTM model can be deemed as the most suitable model for this specific case

Enhancing Crypto Success via Heatmap Visualization of Big Data Analytics for Numerous Variable Moving Average Strategies

Chien‐Liang Chiu, Yensen Ni, Hung-Ching Hu, Min-Yuh Day · 5 authors

This study employed variable moving average (VMA) trading rules and heatmap visualization because the flexibility advantage of the VMA technique and the presentation of numerous outcomes using the heatmap visualization technique may not have been thoroughly considered in prior financial research. We not only employ multiple VMA trading rules in trading crypto futures but also present our overall results through heatmap visualization, which will aid investors in selecting an appropriate VMA trading rule, thereby likely generating profits after screening the results generated from various VMA trading rules. Unexpectedly, we demonstrate in this study that our results may impress Ethereum futures traders by disclosing a heatmap matrix that displays multiple geometric average returns (GARs) exceeding 40%, in accordance with various VMA trading rules. Thus, we argue that this study extracted the diverse trading performance of various VMA trading rules, utilized a big data analytics technique for knowledge extraction to observe and evaluate numerous results via heatmap visualization, and then employed this knowledge for investments, thereby contributing to the extant literature. Consequently, this study may cast light on the significance of decision making via big data analytics.
