Abstract

This study presents a novel methodology for multi-step Bitcoin (BTC) price prediction by combining advanced stacking-based architectures with temporal attention mechanisms. The proposed Temporal Attention-Enhanced Stacking Network (TAESN) integrates the complementary strengths of diverse machine learning algorithms while emphasizing critical temporal features, leading to substantial improvements in forecasting accuracy over traditional methods. Comprehensive experimentation and robust evaluation validate the superior performance of TAESN across various BTC prediction horizons. Additionally, the model not only demonstrates enhanced predictive accuracy but also offers interpretable insights into the temporal dynamics underlying cryptocurrency markets, contributing to both practical forecasting applications and theoretical understanding of market behavior.
