7 days of
Ethereum
The graph to the left displays the price of Ethereum over the last seven days (in USD). Due to its clear volatility, we believed its market swings to be heavily influenced by hope and fear.

Using tweet sentiment analysis, we expect
Ethereum's price to decrease
from $373 to $337
Cryptonite uses ml and numerous apis
to generate its daily market prediction.
Through the analysis of people's tweets, we were able to develop a model that predicts how the price of Ethereum will change from day to day.

human emotion
To test our theory, we produced this graph - seven days of Ethereum tweet sentiments on a scale from 0-1 (with 0 being entirely negative, and 1 being entirely positive). The correlation with price is very strong, as R^2 is greater than 0.44. This suggests that tweet sentiment is a strong predictor of Ethereum pricing.
How does it work?
Our project relies on the advanced capabilities of a number of web services to function.
