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 BAX 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: January 9, 2023
End date: April 3, 2025
a = 4.0169
b = -0.0003
s = 0.0833
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -10.10%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0833) – 1
= 39.57%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y695)
= Exp(a + b × X695 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,008 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0169 + -0.0003 × 1,008 + 2 × 0.0833)
= Exp(3.8894)
= $48.88
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y695)
= Exp(a + b × X695 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,008 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0169 + -0.0003 × 1,008 – 2 × 0.0833)
= Exp(3.5561)
= $35.03
