The impact of the Bitcoin halving introduces still another level of complexity, implying possible stability in the far future, subject to discernible seasonality indicators. This thesis aims to identify what variables influence the value of bitcoin and what kind of models better forecast its price. Following the CRISP-DM methodology, data was collected from online sources, analyzed, and treated accordingly as means to be fed to different types of models: Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Vector Autoregressive (VAR), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Layers and Prophet. The variables that were found to have the greatest potential for inclusion in prediction models were Bitcoin volume, the VT index, and currencies like the Israeli New Shekel and Euro, as well as silver and copper. Although Prophet showed potential, it was clear that it had limitations, especially when it came to predicting long-term outcomes with variables other than Bitcoin. Furthermore, in these models, regressors appeared to be a promising technique, but could only be used to anticipate known futures. While the RNN model with LSTM layers seemed reliable for short-term forecasts, it was not practical for making large-scale, long-term investment decisions. These results highlight how difficult it is currently to develop predictive models that accurately predict Bitcoin values, particularly for large-scale, long-term decision-making in the investment market.Pinheiro, Flávio Luís PortasRUNCosta, Ana Rita Pires da2024-03-08T11:43:58Z2011-01-312011-01-31T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/164639TID:203543785enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:53:39Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/164639Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T04:00:18.098353Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
