Deep learning models show promise in predicting cryptocurrency regimes from chart data

Researchers have conducted a systematic study on using deep learning for cryptocurrency regime prediction based on visual chart representations. They compared various image encoding methods, chart components, and neural network architectures, including CNNs, ResNet18, EfficientNet-B0, and Vision Transformers. The study found that a simple 4-layer CNN applied to raw candlestick charts achieved a high AUC-ROC of 0.892, outperforming more complex pretrained models, and that simpler representations were surprisingly more effective.
