A neutral survey of the main kinds of cryptocurrency price prediction models, what each one assumes, and why none of them can promise reliable forecasts.
Why machine learning struggles to forecast crypto prices: noisy data, changing markets, overfitting and competition from other traders, plus what it can still do.
A review of statistical forecasting methods such as moving averages, ARIMA and volatility models, how their errors are measured, and why simple baselines matter.
What the random walk hypothesis says, how it relates to efficient markets, and what researchers have argued for and against it in cryptocurrency markets.
How to judge a claimed crypto price prediction: spotting survivorship bias, overconfidence and vague wording, and the questions that separate analysis from hype.
A conceptual walkthrough of how a machine learning model is trained and validated on price data, including splits, features, leakage and why results rarely hold up.
Compare machine learning algorithm families used on crypto price data, from linear regression to trees and neural networks, and the typical weaknesses of each.
