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 BAC 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

Start date: August 16, 2023
End date: July 31, 2024

a = 1.2755

b = 0.0014

s = 0.0449

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0014) – 1
= 69.25%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0449) – 1
= 19.69%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y939)
= Exp(a + b × X939 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,365 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.2755 + 0.0014 × 1,365 + 2 × 0.0449)
= Exp(3.3331)
= $28.03

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y939)
= Exp(a + b × X939 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,365 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.2755 + 0.0014 × 1,365 – 2 × 0.0449)
= Exp(3.1534)
= $23.42
