The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

The article presents a method for short-term cryptocurrency price forecasting using news headlines. Leveraging machine learning-based classification with BERT and GPT models, as well as GloVe vector representations, the study analyses the impact of news on asset prices within one hour of publication. The proposed cascade classifier model enhances prediction accuracy by first assessing the strength of a news item and subsequently forecasting the direction of price movement. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed classification model, achieving an accuracy of 79%.
