# Bitcoin Price Prediction with LSTM

## Project Overview
This project aims to predict Bitcoin (BTC) prices for the next 60 days using a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network. The dataset used contains historical BTC/USD prices from 2014 to early 2024. The project leverages PyTorch for deep learning and includes data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation.

## Introduction
Bitcoin is a highly volatile cryptocurrency, making price prediction a challenging task. This project uses sequential data modeling with LSTM to capture patterns in historical BTC prices and provide reliable predictions.

---

## Dataset Description
- **Source**: Kaggle
- **File**: `Dataset/BTC-USD.csv`
- **Columns**: `Date`, `Open`, `High`, `Low`, `Close`, `Adj Close`, `Volume`
- **Timeframe**: 2014 to early 2024
- **Frequency**: Minute-level data aggregated to daily prices.

---

## Project Workflow
### 1. Data Preparation
- Import libraries and load the dataset.
- Perform initial exploration to understand the data structure.

### 2. Data Cleaning
- Handle missing values and duplicates.
- Normalize and standardize the data for better model performance.

### 3. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
- Visualize trends in BTC prices and trading volume.
- Analyze correlations between features.

### 4. Feature Engineering
- Create sequences of 30 days as input features.
- Scale features using `MinMaxScaler`.

### 5. Modeling
- Build LSTM and GRU models using PyTorch.
- Train the models with Mean Squared Error (MSE) loss and Adam optimizer.

### 6. Evaluation
- Evaluate the model using Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).
- Visualize predictions against actual prices.

### 7. Prediction
- Predict BTC prices for the next 60 days.
- Compare predictions with actual future prices.

## Model Architecture
The LSTM model consists of:
- **Input Layer**: Sequence of 30 days of closing prices.
- **Hidden Layers**: 2 LSTM layers with 64 hidden units.
- **Output Layer**: Single neuron for predicting the next day's price.

---

## Results
- **LSTM Test RMSE**: ~1,118 USD
- **GRU Test RMSE**: ~21,445 USD
- The LSTM model outperformed the GRU model, demonstrating its ability to capture sequential patterns in BTC prices.
