【Abstract】This study aims to establish the model of the cryptocurrency price trend based on a financial theory using the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks model with multiple combinations between the window length and the predicting horizons. The Random Walk model is also applied with different parameter settings. The object of this study is the cryptocurrency and medical issues, primarily the Bitcoin and Ethereum and the COVID-19. Quantitative analysis is adopted as the method of this dissertation. The research tool is Python programming language, and the TensorFlow package is employed to model and analyze research topics. The results of this study show the limitations of the LSTM and Random Walk model for price prediction while demonstrating the different characteristics of both models with different parameter settings, providing a balance between the model's accuracy and the model's practicality.
