Abstract:

In this paper, we attempt to predict the Bitcoin price accurately taking into consideration various parameters that affect the Bitcoin value. For the first phase of our investigation, we aim to understand and identify daily trends in the Bitcoin market while gaining insight into optimal features surrounding Bitcoin price. Our data set consists of various features relating to the Bitcoin price and payment network over the course of five years, recorded daily. For the second phase of our investigation, using the available information, we will predict the sign of the daily price change with highest possible accuracy.
