BTC Sentiment Wave: Analyzing Bitcoin Market Sentiment with Wavelet Transforms

Abstract
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have become significant players in the financial market. Understanding market sentiment is crucial for investors and traders to make informed decisions. This paper introduces BTC Sentiment Wave, a novel approach to analyzing Bitcoin market sentiment using wavelet transforms. The method leverages the temporal resolution of wavelets to capture sentiment dynamics at different scales, providing a comprehensive view of market sentiment.

Introduction
Market sentiment analysis has been a critical tool in financial markets, helping to predict price movements and understand investor behavior. Traditional sentiment analysis relies on textual data from news, social media, and other sources. However, the fast-paced and volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market demands a more dynamic approach. BTC Sentiment Wave addresses this need by applying wavelet transforms to sentiment data, offering insights into sentiment trends at various time scales.

Methodology
Data Collection
Sentiment data is collected from various sources including social media platforms, news articles, and financial forums. The data is preprocessed to remove noise and normalize the sentiment scores.

Wavelet Transform Application
Wavelet transforms are applied to the preprocessed sentiment data. The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is used to analyze the sentiment data at different scales. The Morlet wavelet is chosen for its ability to capture both frequency and time information effectively.

Sentiment Wave Analysis
The wavelet coefficients are analyzed to identify significant sentiment waves. These waves represent periods of strong positive or negative sentiment that may influence Bitcoin’s price.

Results
The application of wavelet transforms to sentiment data reveals several key findings:
1. **Sentiment Dynamics**: The method successfully identifies periods of strong sentiment that correlate with significant price movements.
2. **Scale Analysis**: Sentiment waves at different scales provide insights into short-term and long-term market sentiment.
3. **Predictive Power**: The identified sentiment waves show potential for predicting future price movements, although further validation is required.

Discussion
BTC Sentiment Wave offers a novel perspective on market sentiment analysis in the cryptocurrency space. The use of wavelet transforms allows for a detailed examination of sentiment dynamics at various time scales, which is crucial for understanding market behavior in the volatile cryptocurrency market.

Conclusion
The preliminary results are promising, indicating that BTC Sentiment Wave could be a valuable tool for investors and traders. Future work will focus on enhancing the model’s predictive capabilities and applying the methodology to other cryptocurrencies.
