【Abstract】We studied the effects of the recent financial turbulence of 2020 on the cryptocurrency market, taking into account both prices and volumes from December 2019 to July 2020. Time series were transformed into transaction matrices, and the Apriori algorithm was applied to find the association rules between different currencies, identifying whether the price or the volume of the currencies compose the rules. We divided the data set into two subsets and found that before the decline in cryptocurrency prices, the association rules were generally formed by these prices and that, then, the volumes of the transactions dominated to form the association rules.
