Predictive Modeling of Cryptocurrency Price Movements Using Autoregressive and Neural Network Models

Abstract Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and driven by complex, non-linear dynamics, posing significant challenges for price prediction. This research explores the predictive modeling of cryptocurrency price movements by integrating traditional statistical techniques, such as Autoregressive (AR) models, with advanced Neural Network (NN) architectures. The study evaluates the performance of these models in forecasting short-term price trends for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin. The dataset consists of historical price data and technical indicators, preprocessed to address missing values, outliers, and non-stationarity.
Autoregressive models provide interpretable baseline predictions by capturing temporal dependencies in price series, while Neural Networks leverage their capability to learn complex patterns and relationships within the data. Experimental results demonstrate that Neural Network models, particularly Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, outperform AR models in terms of accuracy, root mean squared error (RMSE), and directional accuracy. However, AR models exhibit competitive performance in periods of low market volatility due to their simplicity and robustness.
This research highlights the strengths and limitations of both approaches, providing insights into their applicability for cryptocurrency price prediction. The findings underscore the potential of hybrid models, combining the interpretability of AR models with the predictive power of NNs, to enhance decision-making in cryptocurrency trading and risk management. Future work could explore the integration of alternative data sources, such as social media sentiment and blockchain activity, to further improve prediction accuracy.
