Forecasting and trading cryptocurrencies with machine learning under changing market conditions

Abstract: This study examines the predictability of three major cryptocurrencies—bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin—and the profitability of trading strategies devised upon machine learning techniques (e.g., linear models, random forests, and support vector machines). The models are validated in a period characterized by unprecedented turmoil and tested in a period of bear markets, allowing the assessment of whether the predictions are good even when the market direction changes between the validation and test periods.

“…In [33] ensemble Learning assumes the best output of five Comparable Signal (assemblies 5) models with an annualized ratio of 80,17%, and 91,35% for Sharpe with an annualized return of 9,62% and 5,73%, respectively (around 0,5%). The positive findings support the argument that machine learning offers robust methods for the predictability of cryptocurrencies and the creation of effective trading strategies even under adverse conditions in these markets.…”

“…Since the introduction of this crypto currency in the year 2009, no hacker has been able to infiltrate it due to block chain technology, where each electronic coin is encrypted with a unique digital signature which makes it easier to track and can be trusted. Each owner signs a digital hash from the previous transaction and adding the public key of the next owner before passing it on (4,5) .…”

“…These features bring confidence and security to market participants, mainly by solving the double-spending problem, i.e., by avoiding the possibility of a digital entity to be used by the same address in different transactions. The supply of bitcoin is capped at 21 million units; hence, due to its high attractiveness, the demand pressure is prone to long-term price appreciation, and bitcoin is subjected to a long-run deflating process [3].…”
