In this month's code-along, UpLevel co-founder and instructor Jackie will teach you to use social media data and correlate it with cryptocurrency price movement, assessing if there is a relationship between the two. You will be obtaining data from Twitter and CoinGecko, then using machine learning to train a price movement classifier.

What You'll Do

1. Acquire data from Twitter and CoinGecko via API
2. Cleaning and pre-processing tweets
3. Correlating data obtained from tweets with a select cryptocurrency's price movement
