• Cryptocurrency has become a popular trading asset due to its security, anonymity, and decentralization. However, predicting the direction of the financial market can be challenging, leading to difficult financial decisions and potential losses. The purpose of this study is to gain insights into the impact of Fibonacci technical indicator (TI) and multi-class classification based on trend direction and price-strength (trend-strength) to improve the performance and profitability of artificial intelligence (AI) models, particularly hybrid convolutional neural network (CNN) incorporating long short-term memory (LSTM), and to modify it to reduce its complexity. The main contribution of this paper lies in its introduction of Fibonacci TI, demonstrating its impact on financial prediction, and incorporation of a multi-classification technique focusing on trend strength, thereby enhancing the depth and accuracy of predictions. Lastly, profitability analysis sheds light on the tangible benefits of utilizing Fibonacci and multi-classification. The research methodology employed to carry out profitability analysis is based on a hybrid investment strategy—direction and strength by employing a six-stage predictive system: data collection, preprocessing, sampling, training and prediction, investment simulation, and evaluation. Empirical findings show that the Fibonacci TI has improved its performance (44% configurations) and profitability (68% configurations) of AI models. Hybrid CNNs showed most performance improvements particularly the C-LSTM model for trend (binary-0.0023) and trend-strength (4 class-0.0020) and 6 class-0.0099). Hybrid CNNs showed improved profitability, particularly in CLSTM, and performance in CLSTM mod. Trend-strength prediction showed max improvements in long strategy ROI (6.89%) and average ROIs for long-short strategy. Regarding the choice between hybrid CNNs, the C-LSTM mod is a viable option for trend-strength prediction at 4-class and 6-class due to better performance and profitability.
