ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS OF CRYPTOCURRENCY UNDER CONDITIONS OF ECONOMIC SHOCKS BASED ON ELLIOT WAVE THEORY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction. The development of society and globalization contribute to the development of the
information society and the emergence of new forms of money and assets. This form of asset can be considered a
cryptocurrency. Despite the refusal of a number of countries to recognize the legality of cryptocurrencies, more
and more investors are investing in cryptocurrencies. This is due to the rapid development of the blockchain
system and the growing value of cryptocurrencies in the world market. It is the interest of investors that motivates
researchers to research relevant assets for similarities with traditional assets. In order to understand their
behavior and predict future market values. Applying Elliott's wave theory to cryptocurrency time series will help
identify their commonalities and differences with the traditional stock market.
Purpose. The study aims to explore the behavior of the cryptocurrency market using the Elliott Wave
Theory.
Results. The results of the study proves the advisability of using technical analysis methods to predict the
dynamics of the development of the cryptocurrency market development. The article compares the cryptocurrency
market with the traditional stock market. For this purpose, one of the classic methods of technical analysis was
applied, namely The Elliott Wave Theory, and Elliott Waves were superimposed on the time series of
cryptocurrencies. The general and distinctive features of the new market from the traditional stock market are
investigated based on the behavior of the waves. The expediency of using technical analysis for the cryptocurrency
market was determined. The effectiveness of the Elliott Theory was proven, both at the super cycle level and at
the level of the cycle of dynamic values of cryptocurrencies. The article explores the dynamic significance of the
development of three cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple and highlights their differences when
applying the Wave Theory. The forecast values for future periods for the respective cryptocurrencies were
calculated based on the polynomial trend line.
Originality. A key method of technical analysis for the dynamics of a new market was applied, trends in the
development of the three largest cryptocurrencies from inception to the present day were analyzed, and forecasts
for future periods were developed.
Conclusions. The cryptocurrency market develops as the stock market that is, based on a wave model. The
main differences of the new market are high volatility, lack of legal regulatory framework and risks of hacker
theft. The study proves the possibility of using the Elliott Wave Theory to explain the dynamics of the development
of cryptocurrencies. In the dynamics of time series, it is traced the presence of a complete cycle of the Wave
Theory, that is, all 8 waves. Some cryptocurrencies are fully consistent with the wave pattern, and some are only
partially. The new market is difficult to understand and predict and requires partial improvement of modern
methods of technical analysis. After all, the influence of changing phenomena has a greater impact on it in
comparison with traditional markets. Despite the risks, investors could consider the cryptocurrency market for
making investments, because the risks are directly proportional to the possible income.
