Abstract

Cryptocurrency price prediction remains a challenging problem due to the highly volatile nature of digital asset markets. This study introduces a Hybrid Quantum-Classical Neural Network (HQCNN) for cryptocurrency price forecasting, leveraging quantum feature encoding and extraction with deep learning architectures. The proposed model utilizes Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNN) to enhance feature representations, which are then processed by classical deep learning models such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Transformer networks. Experimental results on historical cryptocurrency data demonstrate that HQCNN outperforms state-of-the-art models. The proposed model achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.023 and a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.036, surpassing traditional deep learning methods such as LSTM (MAE: 0.040, RMSE: 0.056) and Transformerbased models (MAE: 0.035, RMSE: 0.050). Ablation studies confirm the importance of quantum feature encoding, as removing it degrades performance by up to $\mathbf{3 8. 2 \%}$. Additionally, HQCNN reduces inference time to 7 milliseconds, making it suitable for real-time trading applications. Despite its advantages, HQCNN faces challenges related to quantum hardware constraints, training overhead, and interpretability in financial decision-making. Future work will focus on deploying the model on real quantum processors, integrating reinforcement learning for market adaptability, and enhancing interpretability with quantum explainability techniques.
