I can vouch for the DNN results. I took data from Kaggle and tried training networks with different approaches. Was not able to get prediction any better than 54% (which I am pretty sure would be biased as well). Later on while inspecting data and looking at dips and rises turns out external events (govts banning crypto or a price crash due to other reasons) was causing price drops or surge, my conclusion was if you need to predict anything you need to be aware of these external factors.

Yeah, I've always been skeptical of people who say they've been making a killing with their genius proprietary trading algo's. You can't predict the price movements which are directly attributable to external news influences. And these types of events have such a direct effect on price.
