We analyze the correlation between different assets in the cryptocurrency market throughout different phases, specifically bearish and bullish periods. Taking advantage of a fine-grained dataset comprising 34 historical cryptocurrency price time series collected tick-by-tick on the HitBTC exchange, we observe the changes in interactions among these cryptocurrencies from two aspects: time and level of granularity. Moreover, the investment decisions of investors during turbulent times caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are assessed by looking at the cryptocurrency community structure using various community detection algorithms. We found that finer-grain time series describes clearer the correlations between cryptocurrencies. Notably, a noise and trend removal scheme is applied to the original correlations thanks to the theory of random matrices and the concept of Market Component, which has never been considered in existing studies in quantitative finance. To this end, we recognized that investment decisions of cryptocurrency traders vary between bearish and bullish markets. The results of our work can help scholars, especially investors, better understand the operation of the cryptocurrency market, thereby building up an appropriate investment strategy suitable to the prevailing certain economic situation.
The Cryptocurrency Volatility Index (CVI index) has been introduced to estimate the 30-day future volatility of the cryptocurrency market. In this article, we introduce a new Deep Neural Network with an attention mechanism to forecast future values of this index. We then look at the stability and performance of our proposed model against the benchmark models widely used for time series prediction. The results show that our proposed model performs well when compared to popular methods such as traditional Long Short Term Memory, Temporal Convolution Network, and other statistical methods like Simple Moving Average, Random Forest and Support Vector Regression. Furthermore, we show that the well-known Simple Moving Average method, while it has its own advantages, has the weak spot when dealing with time series with large fluctuations.
