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 AVB 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: September 21, 2023
End date: December 17, 2024

a = 3.9522

b = 0.0009

s = 0.0332

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0009) – 1
= 37.09%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0332) – 1
= 14.22%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y874)
= Exp(a + b × X874 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,268 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9522 + 0.0009 × 1,268 + 2 × 0.0332)
= Exp(5.1146)
= $166.44

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y874)
= Exp(a + b × X874 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,268 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9522 + 0.0009 × 1,268 – 2 × 0.0332)
= Exp(4.9816)
= $145.71

Exp(Y1,186)
= Exp(a + b × X1,186 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,721 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9522 + 0.0009 × 1,721 + 2 × 0.0332)
= Exp(5.5061)
= $246.20

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,186)
= Exp(a + b × X1,186 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,721 – 2 × s)
