Abstract: Cryptocurrency price prediction is a challenging task due to the high volatility and uncertainty of the market. Machine learning techniques can provide useful insights and forecasts for investors and traders. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for cryptocurrency price prediction using machine learning models and sentiment analysis. We collect historical price data of Bitcoin from yahoo business. We then apply various machine learning models, such as LSTM for the price prediction of the cryptocurrency using the past data. LSTM is a type of recurrent neural network that can manage long-term dependencies and sequential data. LSTM has three gates: forget gate, input gate, and output gate, which control the flow of information in and out of the memory cell. LSTM can be implemented in Python using the Keras and TensorFlow library. In this paper, we use LSTM as one of the machine learning models for cryptocurrency price prediction. We then use the average of the next 5 days of the predicted data to implement a buy-sell call strategy that aims to maximize the profit and minimize the risk. We evaluate our framework on a popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
