• Abstract: The rapid growth of the stock market has attracted many investors due to its potential for significant profits. However, predicting stock prices accurately is difficult because financial markets are complex and constantly changing. This is especially true for the cryptocurrency market, which is known for its extreme volatility, making it challenging for traders and investors to make wise and profitable decisions. This study introduces a machine learning approach to predict cryptocurrency prices. Specifically, we make use of important technical indicators such as Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) to train and feed the XGBoost regressor model. We demonstrate our approach through an analysis focusing on the closing prices of Bitcoin cryptocurrency. We evaluate the model's performance through various simulations, showing promising results that suggest its usefulness in aiding/guiding cryptocurrency traders and investors in dynamic market conditions.

  Multi-step stock price prediction over a long-term horizon is crucial for forecasting its volatility. Current solutions to multi-step stock price prediction are mostly designed for single-step, classification-based predictions. We combine a deep hierarchical variational-autoencoder (VAE) and diffusion probabilistic techniques to do seq2seq stock prediction. Our model is shown to outperform state-of-the-art solutions in terms of its prediction accuracy and variance.

  Six popular cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Coin, Litecoin, Ripple, and Tether are studied in this work. We propose a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN)-based approach to uncover potential causal relationships among various features including social media data, traditional financial market factors, and technical indicators. The results show that while DBN performance varies across cryptocurrencies, some cryptocurrencies exhibiting higher predictive accuracy than others, the DBN significantly outperforms the baseline models.
