Implementation of the CNN-LSTM Hybrid Model in Predicting Bitcoin Price Fluctuations

Digital financial systems of today face formidable obstacles from the extreme price volatility and unpredictability of Bitcoin. Data cleaning, Min-Max normalization, and sequence creation with a sliding window were performed on the daily BTC-USD historical data received from Yahoo Finance from 2020 to 2024 before implementing a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) model in this study. The CNN layers are responsible for extracting local patterns with a limited time horizon, whereas the LSTM layers are responsible for capturing the time series' long-term relationships. The experimental findings show that the CNN-LSTM model outperforms the CNN and LSTM in terms of predictive ability, with an RMSE of 2,202.717, an MAE of 1,553.202, and a MAPE of 2.244%, which translates to an accuracy of about 97.756%. These results provide useful information for adaptive trading techniques and digital asset risk management based on artificial intelligence, and they prove that the hybrid method is successful in dealing with complicated, non-linear, and unpredictable trends in the cryptocurrency market.
