Linear Regression Model

Model equation:
Yi = α + β × Xi + εi

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi + 2 × s)

Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi – 2 × s)

where:

i - observation number
Yi - natural logarithm of AKAM price
Xi - time index, 1 day interval
σ - standard deviation of εi
a - estimator of α
b - estimator of β
s - estimator of σ
Exp() - calculates the exponent of e


Primary Trend

Start date: August 31, 2022
End date: April 9, 2024

a = 3.6511

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0857

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 28.73%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0857) – 1
= 40.87%

August 31, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y699)
= Exp(a + b × X699 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,015 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6511 + 0.0007 × 1,015 + 2 × 0.0857)
= Exp(4.5248)
= $92.28

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y699)
= Exp(a + b × X699 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,015 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6511 + 0.0007 × 1,015 – 2 × 0.0857)
= Exp(4.1821)
= $65.51

April 9, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,101)
= Exp(a + b × X1,101 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,602 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6511 + 0.0007 × 1,602 + 2 × 0.0857)
= Exp(4.9310)
= $138.52

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,101)
= Exp(a + b × X1,101 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,602 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6511 + 0.0007 × 1,602 – 2 × 0.0857)
= Exp(4.5883)
= $98.33

a = 5.2912

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0725

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -13.69%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0725) – 1
= 33.63%

August 29, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y948)
= Exp(a + b × X948 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,378 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.2912 + -0.0004 × 1,378 + 2 × 0.0725)
= Exp(4.8804)
= $131.68

Bottom border of price channel:
