Optimized Price Prediction of Cryptocurrencies using Deep Learning on High-Volume Time Series Data

Statistical models, enhanced by deep learning techniques, have become pivotal in various predictive tasks, including financial forecasting. This paper addresses the challenge of predicting cryptocurrency prices, utilizing a dataset comprising various cryptocurrencies treated as time series. We employ several deep neural network architectures-including Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTM), and Bidirectional LSTM networks-to forecast future prices. Our methodology involves a detailed analysis of cryptocurrency time series to inform the design of these networks. The performance of each model is rigorously compared, highlighting their predictive capabilities in the context of cryptocurrency markets. This study not only contributes to the empirical literature by applying advanced neural networks to high-volume financial data but also provides a comparative analysis that may guide future applications of deep learning in economic forecasting.
