Crash Diagnosis and Price Rebound Prediction in NYSE Composite Index Based on Visibility Graph and Time-Evolving Stock Correlation Network

Abstract

This study proposes a framework to diagnose stock market crashes and predict the subsequent price rebounds. Based on the observation of anomalous changes in stock correlation networks during market crashes, we extend the log-periodic power-law model with a metric that is proposed to measure network anomalies. To calculate this metric, we design a prediction-guided anomaly detection algorithm based on the extreme value theory. Finally, we proposed a hybrid indicator to predict price rebounds of the stock index by combining the network anomaly metric and the visibility graph-based log-periodic power-law model. Experiments are conducted based on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index from 4 January 1991 to 7 May 2021. It is shown that our proposed method outperforms the benchmark log-periodic power-law model on detecting the 12 major crashes and predicting the subsequent price rebounds by reducing the false alarm rate. This study sheds light on combining stock network analysis and financial time series modeling and highlights that anomalous changes of a stock network can be important criteria for detecting crashes and predicting recoveries of the stock market.

Self-Similar Growth and Synergistic Link Prediction in Technology-Convergence Networks: The Case of Intelligent Transportation Systems

“…The complex network provides a powerful theoretical tool for the abstract characterization of many real-world systems composed of various objects and mutual relationships, such as technological [13,64,65], biological [66][67][68][69], and social systems [70][71][72][73][74]. A wide range of real-world networks have the fractal property, which could be roughly described as, "The network looks similar under different magnification levels" [75].…”

Explanatory Change Detection in Financial Markets by Graph-Based Entropy and Inter-Domain Linkage

“…Research on change detection for graphs has been conducted in various ways [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. In financial analysis, there have been studies in which the structural changes in stock markets were represented graphically [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Huang (2009) and Xiu (2021) conducted an analysis based on the characteristics of daily stock-related graphs, wherein they analyzed the graphs as a whole rather than focusing on individual assets or their connections, which made it difficult for investors to generate concrete ideas.…”
