I am an independent researcher and quantitative analyst specializing in Bitcoin price forecasting, statistical modeling, and financial markets. Since 2015, I have been active in the Forex market, and since 2019, in cryptocurrency markets, with a focus on time series analysis, quantitative methods, and data-driven research.

My goal is to make research-based Bitcoin forecasting accessible to a broader audience while maintaining a clear distinction between statistical analysis and financial advice.
