Bitcoin price fluctuation by Twitter sentiment analysis pre- and post- COVID- 19 pandemic
Research Square (Research Square)(2022)
Abstract
Abstract Cryptocurrency investment especially Bitcoin, has become favourable over recent years due to promising returns in the future. However, the movement of price is mainly speculation-based as these currencies are still new in the market. The COVID-19 outbreak boosted research interest in predicting the price fluctuation of Bitcoin since cryptocurrency trading produced many millionaires. Five lexicon-based Twitter sentiment analysis approaches are examined to see the effect of Tweets on the price of Bitcoin during the pre- and post- COVID-19 period. Results show that negative Twitter sentiments affected the price of Bitcoin pre- COVID-19 and the second year of post- COVID-19 when Elon Musk actively criticised Bitcoin on Twitter.
