1 Introduction
In financial economics, volatility is commonly understood as the irregular variations in return movements within financial markets over specific periods, such as daily, monthly, or yearly intervals [3, 19, 24]. This measure serves as an indicator of widespread uncertainty in financial markets, playing a central role in areas such as sentiment analysis, derivative pricing, risk management, and portfolio optimization [45, 46]. As a fundamental trait of financial time series, accurately estimating and predicting volatility is crucial for financial and economic studies [11]. Building a reliable volatility forecasting model entails identifying patterns or interactions within the variable’s values over time while maintaining robustness and general applicability [4]. Despite their advantages in modeling nonlinear processes, machine learning approaches have limitations and are far from flawless. They often face challenges in detecting long-term dependencies in data and are prone to overfitting, particularly with highly noisy or large datasets [54]. Consequently, there is a pressing need for advanced modeling methods capable of accounting for both the data's nonlinear characteristics and its long-term dependencies. Decomposition techniques address this by isolating latent components in series and incorporating the effects of changing market conditions and economic environments into forecasting [12, 48]. Combining (1) sophisticated decomposition methods with (2) machine learning algorithms establishes a hybrid modeling strategy that enables a comprehensive analysis of stock and cryptocurrency market dynamics while substantially enhancing prediction accuracy [6, 18, 29]. This study introduces a novel approach by integrating Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) with advanced machine learning models—Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)—to enhance Bitcoin volatility forecasting. This hybrid methodology leverages the strengths of both decomposition techniques and deep learning models to improve predictive accuracy and uncover latent volatility components.Given the oscillatory and noisy characteristics of volatility series, decomposition tools can help uncover latent components and account for the impacts of fluctuations in market conditions and economic environments when forecasting these series. Consequently, integrating decomposition tools with machine learning methods in a hybrid modeling approach has the potential to significantly enhance prediction accuracy. In this study, however, we primarily focus on applying machine learning techniques-namely ANN, RNN, and LSTM-to forecast the volatility of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. Additionally, to assess the advantages offered by decomposition tools, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) will be combined with machine learning techniques to predict Bitcoin cryptocurrency volatility. Thus, the research intends to evaluate and compare model performance within both hybrid and non-hybrid frameworks. Ultimately, optimal models for volatility prediction will be proposed based on the findings. The article proceeds by discussing the theoretical framework and reviewing related literature, followed by outlining the methodology, presenting the findings, and concluding with the implications, limitations, and recommendations derived from the study.
2 Theoretical Fundamentals and Research Background
Currently, research on volatility prediction primarily focuses on two main approaches: stochastic methods and data-driven methods [2, 14, 26, 29]:
Stochastic methods, such as autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models and their enhanced variants, including generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and exponential autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (EGARCH) models, have been extensively applied to forecast volatility [1, 49]. These econometric models are widely recognized for their solid statistical underpinnings and their ability to capture linear patterns in time series data [19, 21, 31]. They demonstrate strong performance in handling stable and linear datasets [44]. However, the primary drawback of econometric models lies in their reliance on linearity assumptions, rendering them ineffective at addressing the inherently nonlinear and dynamic nature of volatility [4, 20]. Put simply, traditional econometric models struggle to adequately handle the nonlinear and dynamic aspects of financial market volatility, which is frequently shaped by unexpected economic events [33]. To address the shortcomings of these traditional models, particularly in dealing with nonlinear and complex datasets, data-driven techniques such as machine learning-an integral branch of artificial intelligence-have emerged as powerful alternatives and are gaining increasing traction [42, 43].
Data-driven methods, which derive patterns and relationships directly from data, can be seen as an overarching extension of stochastic techniques. These methods encompass a broad range of approaches, including least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), support vector regression (SVR), artificial neural networks (ANN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent units (GRU), bidirectional gated recurrent units (BiGRU), among others [7, 32, 38, 43]. Their ability to accurately detect nonlinear relationships within datasets, paired with a flexible structure that facilitates adaptive learning and adjustments, allows for more dynamic and adaptable modeling of various components in financial markets [17, 37]. These attributes enable them to deliver superior performance in forecasting market volatility [8, 22].Advanced techniques for time series decomposition include Wavelet Analysis (WA), Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), and the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT), each offering distinct features and applications in data analysis. Wavelet Analysis utilizes wavelets as mathematical bases to decompose signals within the time-frequency domain, proving highly effective in applications such as signal processing, data compression, and noise reduction, due to its ability to emphasize local signal features. One key advantage of Wavelet Analysis is its capacity to perform multiscale signal decomposition simultaneously, though the complexity of selecting the appropriate mother wavelet can be a challenge. Empirical Mode Decomposition, on the other hand, is an entirely empirical method that decomposes signals into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) without relying on predefined mathematical bases. This approach excels in analyzing non-stationary and nonlinear data but is notably susceptible to noise. The Hilbert-Huang Transform combines EMD with the Hilbert transform, deriving localized time-frequency representations by applying the Hilbert transform to IMFs. While highly proficient in analyzing intricate data and uncovering hidden structures in signals, the Hilbert-Huang Transform may experience reduced performance in noisy conditions. In summary, Wavelet Analysis is ideal for multiscale analysis, Empirical Mode Decomposition for studying non-stationary data, and the Hilbert-Huang Transform for precise analysis and identifying concealed patterns within data [8, 9, 15, 16, 34].
Lin et al. (2012) introduced a hybrid forecasting model that combines Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) with Least Squares Support Vector Regression (LSSVR) to address the nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics of financial time series such as exchange rates. In this approach, EMD is used to break down exchange rate dynamics into multiple Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) and a residual component. Subsequently, LSSVR is employed to separately forecast these IMFs and the residual value, and the aggregated predictions result in the final estimated exchange rate. Their findings demonstrate that the EMD-LSSVR hybrid model achieves superior performance compared to EMD-ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) models, as well as standalone LSSVR and ARIMA models without time series decomposition [27]. Zhang et al. (2017) highlighted that time series data often comprises various elements, including trends, seasonality, and jumps, each governed by distinct coefficients in the data-generating process. Utilizing a unified time series model for aggregated data can be both resource-intensive and less accurate. By calculating component-specific coefficients through multiresolution wavelet analysis, they showed that forecasting accuracy improves for aggregated data, as this method alleviates the constraint of applying identical coefficients across all data components [53].
Risse (2019) utilized a combination of discrete wavelet transform and support vector regression to forecast gold price dynamics, demonstrating that this approach outperforms other forecasting methods. His findings highlighted that the influence of short-term and long-term trends varies over the evaluation period [36]. Lin et al. (2020) introduced a novel hybrid model for forecasting crude oil prices, accounting for factors such as long-term memory, asymmetry, heavy-tailed distributions, nonlinearity, and non-stationarity. Empirical evidence revealed that the WPD–EMD–ARMA–FIGARCH-M hybrid model performs particularly well during periods of significant events. Stability assessments confirmed that this model surpasses traditional forecasting techniques [28]. Zaj et al. (2022) aimed to forecast Bitcoin prices using the Grey model, the artificial neural network with backpropagation, and the integrated Grey neural network model. Their findings revealed that for daily Bitcoin price estimation, the artificial neural network with backpropagation exhibited the lowest absolute error (5.6%) compared to the Grey model and the integrated model. Additionally, for monthly Bitcoin price forecasting, the integrated model outperformed the other two, achieving the lowest absolute error (9%) [50]. Tavakoli et al. (2022) utilized the Kullback-Leibler, Lin-Wang, and triangular information metrics, as loss functions to evaluate predictive performance. Their findings indicate that the capsule network, when employing the triangular information criterion, effectively forecasts Bitcoin prices over medium- and long-term periods of 10, 90, and 180 days. As a result, its prediction accuracy reaches 94% for long-term forecastsand 64% for medium-term predictions [41].
Zhang et al. (2024) combined wavelet, ARIMA, and LSTM methodologies to develop a hybrid model that showed superior performance in forecasting the stock price index compared to other models. Their findings indicated that LSTM excels in handling noisy residual data, while ARIMA is more effective for less noisy signals. A trading strategy derived from these forecasts demonstrated robust returns under diverse market conditions, particularly in managing risk effectively. Additionally, they examined the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on forecasting performance, concluding that the model effectively adapts to varying data structures, achieving improved accuracy [52]. Souropanis and Vivian (2023) applied wavelet analysis to forecast S&P500 index volatility, finding that technical indicators excel in predicting short-frequency components, complemented by macroeconomic variables for longer frequencies. They emphasized that incorporating methods addressing the frequency dimension significantly enhances prediction accuracy [39]. Zhao et al. (2023) forecasted crude oil inventory using a hybrid model combining wavelet, ARDL, and SVR, observing that inventory’s buffering effect is more evident in the long term, while speculative effects, particularly on the supply side, accumulate in the short term and increase market risks. This approach demonstrated improved forecasting accuracy, achieving a 19% enhancement over institutional predictions [56]. Lastly, Dezhkam and Manzouri (2023) proposed the HHT-XGB model, integrating the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) for feature engineering and the XGBoost method as a price trend classifier. This hybrid approach improved portfolio performance by 99.8% compared to models using unprocessed financial data. Backtesting results revealed that the HHT-XGB strategy consistently outperforms benchmark approaches, even in challenging market conditions [10]. Koosha et al. (2023) proposed an ensemble learning approach to improve the accuracy of predicting Bitcoin’s peak and bottom prices by integrating multiple machine learning models. Their findings demonstrate that the ensemble learning model significantly outperforms individual machine learning models, offering superior accuracy and reliability in predicting Bitcoin price fluctuations [23].
Recognizing diesel's essential role in mitigating carbon emissions, Yan et al. (2024) developed a hybrid learning model based on time-frequency interval decomposition (TFIDE) to forecast diesel prices and evaluate the nonlinear effects of global low-carbon development trends on these prices. The model integrates three components: two-dimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD), interval multilayer perceptron (IMLP) networks, and threshold autoregressive interval (TARI) models. Initially, BEMD decomposes weekly diesel price intervals into multiple intricate intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and a residual component. Subsequently, the IMLP model forecasts the IMFs, while the TARI model predicts the residual values using carbon reduction technology indicators and carbon emission considerations. Finally, the aggregated predictions yield the final interval forecasting outcomes for diesel prices. Experimental results reveal that carbon reduction technologies enhance mid-frequency IMF predictions, while carbon emission concerns exert nonlinear influences on long-term diesel price intervals. Moreover, the TFIDE approach demonstrates superior performance compared to alternative methods across various accuracy metrics [47]. Tan et al. (2024) introduced a multiscale time series decomposition learning framework aimed at forecasting crude oil prices. Their approach begins with the development of a multiscale time processing module designed to detect time series patterns across various frequencies in historical data at different scales. This is followed by the application of a multiscale decomposition method, which separates historical crude oil data into distinct temporal modes-comprising global shared information across multiple scales and localized details that vary at each scale. Finally, a multiscale aggregation mechanism integrates these components, providing inputs for constructing nonlinear and complex crude oil price forecasting models. Reviews conducted within the Shanghai crude oil market indicate that this method outperforms several econometric and machine learning models [40].
Based on the aforementioned points, the aim of this research is to utilize machine learning tools (including ANN, RNN, and LSTM) to predict Bitcoin cryptocurrency volatility. Additionally, the study employs a combination of the empirical mode decomposition method and machine learning tools for Bitcoin volatility forecasting. Finally, To assess the effectiveness of this combined approach, the results of the two methodologies are compared.
3 Methodology
The primary data used in this study is daily data, extracted from the investment website (www.investing.com/crypto/bitcoin/), spanning from the first working day of September 2011 to the last working day of December 2024. After gathering the data, the daily percentage changes in Bitcoin prices were calculated to determine its daily returns. Following Wang et al. (2024), the natural logarithm of the sum of the squared daily returns on each working day of the month was used as the measure of Bitcoin's volatility (VBTC) for that month [43]. Here, 
represents the number of working days in each month, and 
represents the daily returns of Bitcoin.

One of the drawbacks of simple recurrent neural networks (RNNs) is gradient disappearance and gradient explosion problems, which makes working with time series data that have long-term correlations challenging. In such situations, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, with the inclusion of a forget gate on the simple recurrent neural network, can effectively resolve this issue [29]. Figure 3 provides an overview of a Long Short-Term Memory network:
Fig. 3: An overview of a Long short-term memory network (LSTM) - (Source: [51]) |
In other words, Long Short-Term Memory networks are an advanced type of recurrent neural network (RNN) designed to address common issues in long-term learning with sequential data. LSTMs use memory cells and gating mechanisms such as input, output, and forget gates, which allow them to selectively retain or forget information. This feature enables LSTMs to effectively handle problems such as gradient instability and information loss in long sequences. The main applications of LSTMs include natural language processing, machine translation, speech recognition, and time series analysis. Due to their strong ability to learn long-term relationships, LSTMs have become one of the key tools in the field of deep learning [25].
3.2 Empirical Decomposition Mode (EMD)
Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is a signal analysis method that decomposes complex and non-stationary signals into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Each intrinsic mode function uniquely contains a specific oscillation at different time scales. This method was introduced by Norbert Huang in 1998 and is highly efficient for analyzing data with temporal variations and nonlinear oscillations [16]. Important applications of EMD include signal processing, biological data analysis, and mechanical vibration analysis. In signal processing, EMD is used for pattern recognition, noise removal, and analysis of complex data. In biological data analysis, this method is employed to analyze signals, helping identify anomalies and hidden patterns. In mechanical vibration analysis, EMD is used to analyze vibrations in various structures, such as bridges and buildings, aiding in the detection of failures and weaknesses. A notable feature of EMD is that it does not require the pre-selection of mathematical bases, but instead empirically identifies and extracts components. EMD's applications have expanded into various fields, including signal processing, biological data analysis, mechanical vibrations, and even finance and economics. This method is particularly suitable for analyzing complex and combined data with varying temporal oscillations, providing high accuracy and interpretability [34, 35]. Empirical Mode Decomposition identifies and extracts components empirically without the need for initial assumptions or predefined mathematical bases. This makes EMD a powerful tool for signal analysis in fields such as signal processing, biological data analysis, and mechanical vibration analysis [16]. However, due to its high sensitivity to noise, EMD sometimes does not provide stable and accurate results. Figure 4 provides an overview of what EMD accomplishes.

As previously stated, EMD decomposes complex signals into simpler components called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). In this method, all local minimum and maximum points of the signal 
are first identified. Using these points and applying an interpolation method (such as Spline), the upper envelope 
, the lower envelope 
, and the mean of these two envelopes 
are created for the original signal. By subtracting this mean from the original signal, the initial IMF component is obtained (
). At this stage, the number of times the signal crosses the zero axis and the number of local maxima and minima should be equal or differ by one. If this is not the case, the previous steps are repeated until this condition (which is the stopping criterion for the process) is met. After extracting one intrinsic component, its value is subtracted from the original signal (
) to obtain the residual signal 
. The previous steps are then repeated until becomes a constant or monotonic function. Finally, the original signal 
can be expressed as the sum of the IMFs and the residual term

4.2 Forecasting Using the Time Series Regression
Figure 6 presents the out-of-sample forecast results of VBTC using the time series method. The ARIMA(2,0,0) model was employed to forecast the volatility of Bitcoin prices (VBTC) from May 2022 to December 2024, using data from September 2011 to April 2022 for estimation.
Fig. 6: Graph of VBTC, Forecasted VBTC, and forecast performance metrics - (Source: Research findings) |
The performance of the model was evaluated using several metrics. The Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) is 0.089439, indicating the average magnitude of the forecast errors. The Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is 0.079279, showing the average absolute difference between the predicted and actual values. Both metrics suggest that the model provides reasonably accurate predictions. The Theil Inequality Coefficient is 0.226194, which is relatively low and implies good forecasting performance, as values closer to zero indicate more accurate forecasts. The Bias Proportion of 0.030373 shows that only a small portion of the forecast error is due to systematic bias, while the Variance Proportion of 0.095412 indicates that the error due to differences in the variability of the predicted and actual series is also low. The Covariance Proportion is high at 0.874216, signifying that the majority of the forecast error is unsystematic and due to random fluctuations. The Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error (SMAPE) is 50.77567, reflecting the average percentage error of the forecasts. This relatively high value highlights the inherent limitations of traditional time series models in predicting Bitcoin volatility. Given the highly dynamic and complex nature of Bitcoin’s price movements, time series approaches struggle to capture rapid fluctuations effectively. To address these shortcomings, data-driven models were employed, leveraging advanced machine learning techniques to enhance predictive accuracy. Overall, the ARIMA(2,0,0) model provides a reasonable forecast of Bitcoin price volatility, with most errors stemming from random fluctuations rather than systematic biases, indicating its utility in predicting VBTC. In the next section, the forecast results using machine learning methods and the combination of machine learning with Empirical Decomposition Mode will be presented.
4.3 Decomposition of VBTC into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs)
Figure 7 presents the decomposition results of the VBTC series into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). The decomposition of VBTC into its Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) and residual provides a detailed insight into the underlying components contributing to the volatility of Bitcoin prices. The first IMF (IMF 1) captures the highest frequency fluctuations, which are often associated with short-term market noise or rapid changes in market sentiment. Subsequent IMFs (IMF 2, IMF 3, IMF 4, and IMF 5) reflect progressively lower frequency components, indicating medium to long-term trends and cycles. For instance, IMF 2 and IMF 3 display moderate fluctuations that can be linked to monthly or quarterly market trends, while IMF 4 and IMF 5 capture longer-term trends that might be driven by significant economic or geopolitical events influencing Bitcoin volatility. The residual component represents the long-term trend, capturing the overall stable pattern of VBTC that remains after removing all the oscillatory components represented by the IMFs. This residual trend is crucial as it highlights the inherent stability or long-term behavior of Bitcoin volatility that is not influenced by short-term market fluctuations.
Fig. 7: Results of VBTC decomposition into its intrinsic mode functions - (Source: Research findings) |
In summary, the Empirical Mode Decomposition provides a comprehensive breakdown of Bitcoin volatility, isolating various frequency components that contribute to the overall behavior of VBTC. This multi-scale analysis can be valuable for market analysts and traders to understand and predict the different factors affecting Bitcoin volatility over different time horizons.
