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 BIO 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: June 24, 2021
End date: July 15, 2024

a = 7.1674

b = -0.0009

s = 0.0977

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0009) – 1
= -28.65%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0977) – 1
= 47.83%

June 24, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y399)
= Exp(a + b × X399 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 581 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.1674 + -0.0009 × 581 + 2 × 0.0977)
= Exp(6.8255)
= $921.07

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y399)
= Exp(a + b × X399 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 581 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.1674 + -0.0009 × 581 – 2 × 0.0977)
= Exp(6.4347)
= $623.06

July 15, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,166)
= Exp(a + b × X1,166 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,698 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.1674 + -0.0009 × 1,698 + 2 × 0.0977)
= Exp(5.7926)
= $327.85

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,166)
= Exp(a + b × X1,166 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,698 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.1674 + -0.0009 × 1,698 – 2 × 0.0977)
= Exp(5.4017)
= $221.78

Description

a = 3.5218

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0401

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 60.33%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1

= 17.39%

April 17, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,106)
= Exp(a + b × X1,106 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,609 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5218 + 0.0013 × 1,609 + 2 × 0.0401)
= Exp(5.6831)
= $293.84

Bottom border of price channel:
