In this project, we will be conducting a comprehensive analysis, prediction, and forecasting of cryptocurrency prices using machine learning with Python. The dataset we will be working with contains historical cryptocurrency price data, and our main objective is to build models that can accurately predict future price movements and daily returns.
The first step of the project involves exploring the dataset to gain insights into the structure and contents of the data. We will examine the columns, data types, and any missing values present. After that, we will preprocess the data, handling any missing values and converting data types as needed. This will ensure that our data is clean and ready for analysis.
Next, we will proceed with visualizing the dataset to understand the trends and patterns in cryptocurrency prices over time. We will create line plots, box plot, violin plot, and other visualizations to study price movements, trading volumes, and volatility across different cryptocurrencies. These visualizations will help us identify any apparent trends or seasonality in the data.
To gain a deeper understanding of the time-series nature of the data, we will conduct time-series analysis year-wise and month-wise. This analysis will involve decomposing the time-series into its individual components like trend, seasonality, and noise. Additionally, we will look for patterns in price movements during specific months to identify any recurring seasonal effects.
To enhance our predictions, we will also incorporate technical indicators into our analysis. Technical indicators, such as moving averages, Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), provide valuable information about price momentum and market trends. These indicators can be used as additional features in our machine learning models.
With a strong foundation of data exploration, visualization, and time-series analysis, we will now move on to building machine learning models for forecasting the closing price of cryptocurrencies. We will utilize algorithms like Linear Regression, Support Vector Regression, Random Forest Regression, Decision Tree Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors Regression, Adaboost Regression, Gradient Boosting Regression, Extreme Gradient Boosting Regression, Light Gradient Boosting Regression, Catboost Regression, Multi-Layer Perceptron Regression, Lasso Regression, and Ridge Regression to make forecasting. By training our models on historical data, they will learn to recognize patterns and make predictions for future price movements.
As part of our Machine Learning efforts, we will also develop models for predicting daily returns of cryptocurrencies. Daily returns are essential indicators for investors and traders, as they reflect the percentage change in price from one day to the next. By using historical price data and technical indicators as input features, we can build models that forecast daily returns accurately. Throughout the project, we will perform extensive hyperparameter tuning using techniques like Grid Search and Random Search. This will help us identify the best combinations of hyperparameters for each model, optimizing their performance.
To validate the accuracy and robustness of our models, we will use various evaluation metrics such as Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and R-squared. These metrics will provide insights into the model's ability to predict cryptocurrency prices accurately.
