Contemporarily, under the impacts of COVID-19 and regional conflicts with radicalness fiscal policy, the prices of cryptocurrency have been fluctuated dramatically. Among various types of cryptocurrency, Ethereum is one of the most volatility assets. In order to avoid risks as well as gain extra return in the crypto market, it is necessary to construct accurate prediction approach. In this paper, the Long Short-Term Memory algorithm will be used to predict the future price of Ethereum by learning Ethereum's past price direction data. price trend by learning Ethereum's past price trend data. Based on the analysis, the predicted values of the trained model fit well with the actual data, with the regression evaluation index R2 of 97.08% and MAPE of 6.89%. According to the results, it is feasible to predict the future price trend through the past price trend data. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the stochastic process in data training might lead to the instability of model performances. Hence, it is necessary to train the data several time to select the best models. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of cryptocurrency price forecasting in terms of the state-of-art neural networks.
