Περίληψη: Evaluations of financial early-warning models can appear stronger when temporal separation is incomplete or when the event definition uses information unavailable at the forecast origin. This study examines one-day-ahead risk ranking of large absolute Bitcoin returns using 334 daily observations from 31 August 2024 to 30 July 2025, five expanding-window folds, lagged predictors, training-fold preprocessing, and train-only classification-threshold selection. The original q85 and q90 cutoffs, estimated from the full study-period return distribution, are retained as retrospective fixed-label benchmarks and are complemented by fold-specific train-only cutoffs. Under fixed q85 labels, class-weighted Logistic Regression with technical and market-activity variables achieved pooled ROC-AUC = 0.723 (moving-block 95% CI [0.556, 0.822]) and Average Precision = 0.338 ([0.103, 0.565]); Random Forest yielded 0.739 and 0.352. Pooled MCC was 0.207, but the primary model issued no positive warnings in three of the five fixed-q85 test folds. Under train-only q85 labels, ROC-AUC was 0.674 and Average Precision was 0.174, but the retained MCC threshold-selection rule produced no true positives. Conventional GARCH(1,1), EWMA, and 14-day historical-volatility scores did not exceed the primary model on both ranking metrics. Adding the complete six-variable sentiment and attention block lowered point estimates, although one-variable ablations and a matched-dimension control do not isolate sentiment content from dimensionality and small-sample overfitting. The results provide limited, sample-specific evidence for risk ranking, not evidence of deployment readiness, economic profitability, or cross-asset generalizability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
