Abstract: This paper examines, in the time and frequency domains, the quantile dependence and directional predictability of investor attention to cryptocurrency returns. We find that there is significant tail dependence between investor attention and cryptocurrency returns. When market pays very high or very low attention to cryptocurrencies, there is an increased likelihood to have very large positive gains and suffer from very large negative results. Our results indicate that the quantile dependence between investor attention and cryptocurrency returns has a higher statistical significance in the long-term than medium-term and short-term. This implies that quantile dependence between investor attention and cryptocurrency returns is mainly dominated by low-frequency components. These findings have important implications for cryptocurrency investors.
