Assumptions and design choices

One of the assumptions of this project is as follows: whether we are thinking about Bitcoin trading in November 2016 with a price of about $700, or trading in November 2017 with a price in the $6500-7000 range, patterns in how people trade are similar. Now, we have several other assumptions, as described in the following points:

  • Assumption one: From what has been said previously, we can ignore the actual price and rather look at its change. As a measure of this, we can take the delta between opening and closing prices. If it is positive, it means the price grew during that minute; the price went down if it is negative and stayed the same if delta = 0. In the following figure, we can see that Delta was -1.25 ...
