Stock Market Prediction and Visualisation

Abstract

Abstract: Stock price forecasting is a widely discussed and significant topic in both financial and academic circles. The stock market is inherently unpredictable, lacking clear rules for estimating or predicting share prices. Various methods, including technical analysis, fundamental analysis, time series analysis, and statistical analysis, have been employed to forecast stock prices. However, none of these methods consistently serve as reliable prediction tools. In this paper, we explore the implementation, prediction, and analysis of stock market prices. Artificial Neural Networks and Machine Learning prove effective for forecasting stock prices, returns, and modeling stock behavior. By conducting statistical analyses, we establish relationships between selected factors and share prices, contributing to more accurate predictions. While the stock market remains inherently uncertain, this paper aims to apply data analysis and prediction concepts to forecast stock prices. In the era of global digitization, stock market prediction has undergone significant technological advancements, transforming traditional trading models. As market capitalization continues to rise, stock trading becomes a focal point for financial investors. Analysts and researchers have developed tools and techniques to predict stock price movements, aiding decision-making. Advanced models leverage non-traditional textual data from social platforms for market prediction. Machine learning approaches, including text data analytics and ensemble methods, have significantly improved prediction accuracy. However, analyzing and predicting stock markets remains challenging due to dynamic, erratic, and chaotic data. This study explores machine learning-based approaches for stock market prediction, emphasizing a generic framework. By critically analyzing findings from the last decade (2011–2021) from digital libraries like ACM and Scopus, we provide insights for emerging researchers to delve into this promising area.
