Abstract

The cryptocurrency market is volatile, which makes it very difficult to accurately predict. The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is an approach to Predict Price Cryptocurrency (PPC) that uses price time series data. However, in this method, the prediction accuracy is dependent on the tuning of meta-parameters. Therefore, to tune these meta-parameters, an improved version of the optimization algorithms is needed that provides the task of selecting the optimal values of these parameters for price predictions. Therefore, in this study, the LSTM is combined with the classic version of the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm, and the real data against the prediction results of the model presented in this study showed the appropriate accuracy of this model. Then, the classic version of the DE algorithm was modified to reduce its errors compared to previous algorithms. In this regard, coding was done in MATLAB version 2023b software, and the improved version was compared in terms of error rate with the Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and the new Bald Eagle Search (BES) algorithm, which showed an accuracy of 86.94% for the improved model in this study.
