REAL-TIME CRYPTOCURRENCY ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR INVESTOR DECISION SUPPORT

Abstract

The exponential growth of the cryptocurrency market over recent decades has posed significant challenges for beginner investors, who frequently struggle with complex and often inaccessible analysis tools. This paper presents the development and implementation of a real-time cryptocurrency analysis system, named SS Innova Crypto Analyzer, aimed at supporting the interpretation of technical information in the cryptocurrency market and contributing to its greater accessibility for retail investors. The system integrates four technical indicators — Relative Strength Index (RSI), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD), and Fibonacci retracement levels within a multi-temporal consensus architecture that simultaneously evaluates five time horizons. In a preliminary backtesting evaluation with four cryptocurrency pairs throughout 2024, the multi-temporal approach increased the average accuracy of directional signals from 58.4% to 64.2%, while reducing the false-positive rate by 11.8 percentage points.  The approach generates normalized confidence scores and natural-language recommendations, with the purpose of facilitating the interpretation of technical information by retail investors without specialized backgrounds.
