Although there is some dependence with some lags, I fear taking these too seriously is a form of overfitting. I don't need perfect predictions but an approximate. A moving average could work I guess but I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what type of model is applicable here.

To me it seems like "random" peaks that are not at all predictable.

    $\begingroup$ Is the data nonnegative or perhaps positive? If the latter, perhaps some transformation from the positive half of the real line to the entire real line would make it more suitable for an ARIMA model? $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 17 at 17:23
