Analysing Cryptocurrency Market Sentiment Through Machine Learning and Social Media Text Mining: Unveiling Market Trends and Predictive Insights

Abstract

"The research explores the impact of social media sentiment on cryptocurrency market dynamics, utilizing machine learning and text mining techniques. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and influenced by various factors beyond traditional financial indicators. This study emphasizes the role of social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit, which have become hubs of cryptocurrency discourse, shaping public sentiment and influencing market trends.

Leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms, the research collects and preprocesses vast social media datasets, extracting sentiment signals indicative of market behavior. The study integrates advanced models, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and ARIMA, to analyze and predict the correlation between sentiment trends and cryptocurrency price movements. Exploratory data analysis highlights patterns in tweet frequency, text lengths, and user engagement, providing critical insights for model development.

Key deliverables include a comprehensive sentiment analysis model, a real-time sentiment and market volatility correlation framework, and detailed recommendations for stakeholders. The research also identifies gaps, such as the limited focus on lesser-known cryptocurrencies and insufficient integration of influencer profiles in sentiment analysis. It addresses these through a robust methodology combining sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and named entity recognition.

Ethical considerations, such as data privacy and bias mitigation, are prioritized, ensuring compliance with standards like GDPR. The findings aim to empower investors, regulators, and researchers with predictive insights for informed decision-making in the cryptocurrency market, blending finance, technology, and social media analytics for a nuanced understanding of market dynamics."
