LSTM Network Application for Forecasting Ethereum Price Changes and Trends
Abstract views: 53 , PDF downloads: 52Abstract
Forecasting Ethereum price changes presents challenges due to the cryptocurrency market’s volatility and rapid fluctuations. This study applies Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to predict Ethereum price trends using hourly historical data. The LSTM model captures temporal dependencies effectively, achieving moderate accuracy with a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 11.42. It performs well in stable market conditions, with predicted prices closely aligning with actual values, validating its potential for identifying long-term trends. However, the model struggles during high-volatility periods, failing to predict abrupt price spikes and market crashes accurately. Overfitting is also observed, indicated by disparities between training and test errors, limiting the model’s generalizability to unseen data. To address these issues, this research suggests incorporating features such as trading volumes, market sentiment, macroeconomic indicators, and blockchain metrics to enhance predictive accuracy. Additionally, employing advanced architectures like attention mechanisms, hybrid models, and real-time learning frameworks is recommended to improve adaptability and robustness in dynamic market environments. These enhancements aim to create a more comprehensive and reliable predictive tool. This study contributes to the advancement of predictive analytics in cryptocurrency markets, offering valuable insights for traders, investors, and policymakers navigating the complexities of digital finance.
