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 ALTR 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 29, 2022
End date: August 1, 2023

a = 1.7527

b = 0.0018

s = 0.0786

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0018) – 1
= 96.07%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0786) – 1
= 36.96%

August 29, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y749)
= Exp(a + b × X749 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,085 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7527 + 0.0018 × 1,085 + 2 × 0.0786)
= Exp(3.9114)
= $49.97

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y749)
= Exp(a + b × X749 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,085 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7527 + 0.0018 × 1,085 – 2 × 0.0786)
= Exp(3.5968)
= $36.48

August 1, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y980)
= Exp(a + b × X980 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,422 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7527 + 0.0018 × 1,422 + 2 × 0.0786)
= Exp(4.5330)
= $93.04

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y980)
= Exp(a + b × X980 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,422 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7527 + 0.0018 × 1,422 – 2 × 0.0786)
= Exp(4.2185)
= $67.93

a = 3.2470

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0843

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 29.36%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0843) – 1
= 40.12%

February 1, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y856)
= Exp(a + b × X856 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,241 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.2470 + 0.0007 × 1,241 + 2 × 0.0843)
= Exp(4.2909)
= $73.03

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y856)
= Exp(a + b × X856 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,241 – 2 × s)

= Exp(3.9536)
= $52.12

September 6, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.2470 + 0.0007 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.0843)
= Exp(4.7021)
= $110.18

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
