Enhancing Cryptocurrency Market Predictability Using Artificial Intelligence: A Platform for Predicting Prices and Trends of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano
About this article
Keywords:
Cryptocurrency; Market Predictability; Artificial Intelligence; Bitcoin; Ethereum; CardanoAbstract
Despite its rapid expansion in the last ten years, the cryptocurrency market remains highly volatile and unpredictable, creating difficulties for both investors and market participants. Using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques, this project seeks to build a predictive model for cryptocurrency prices, which will focus on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano to solve market challenges. The project aims to develop an end-to-end solution covering all stages of data management, which begins with setting up a real-time data ETL pipeline to collect information from the Binance and Yahoo Finance APIs. The system places data into a structured database that holds historical price information as well as technical indicators. Historical data serves as the basis for training and testing machine learning models to forecast price trends, which enhances cryptocurrency trading and investment decisions.
