Abstract/Summary

This paper studies the Bitcoin volatility forecasting performance between popular traditional econometric models and machine learning techniques. We compare the 1-day to 2-month ahead forecasting performance of the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and a hybrid Convolutional Neu- ral Network-LSTM (CNN-LSTM) model to the traditional models. We find that neural networks outperform Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models for all forecasting horizons. Furthermore, the LSTM model outperforms the Heterogeneous Autoregres- sive (HAR) model and by integrating the Markov Transition Field (MTF) into the CNN-LSTM model, we achieve superior forecasting results in the short-term, particularly for the 7-day forecasts.
