Bitcoin (BTC)

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the world's first cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. With a dominant market capitalisation, it is the primary reference for the entire crypto sector and the benchmark against which all other digital assets are measured.

The Bitcoin protocol enforces a maximum supply of 21 million coins, making it deflationary by design. Its proof-of-work network secures transactions through the computational power of miners distributed worldwide. Thanks to its extremely high liquidity and presence on all major exchanges, the BTC price directly influences the performance of every other cryptocurrency.

Key data

Why analyse Bitcoin with machine learning?

Bitcoin is the most liquid and most studied cryptocurrency market, making it ideal for machine learning analysis. Its price movements follow well-defined technical patterns: indicators such as RSI, MACD and Bollinger Bands produce statistically more reliable signals on BTC than on any other coin. The halving cycles every four years create predictable supply dynamics that the model learns to recognise.

How High Tide's analysis of Bitcoin works

Every day, the High Tide model analyses Bitcoin by combining multiple technical indicators: RSI to identify overbought and oversold conditions, MACD to detect momentum changes, and Bollinger Bands to measure relative volatility. The analysis also integrates the closing price, trading volumes and the trend over the last 24 hours. The model publishes an UP or DOWN signal only when all indicators exceed the minimum confidence threshold, filtering out weak or contradictory signals. Each prediction is verified after 7 days against real Binance data, continuously updating the accuracy statistics.
