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 BLKB 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 13, 2024
End date: March 31, 2025

a = 6.9153

b = -0.0015

s = 0.0529

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0015) – 1
= -41.98%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0529) – 1
= 23.59%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,120)
= Exp(a + b × X1,120 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,626 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.9153 + -0.0015 × 1,626 + 2 × 0.0529)
= Exp(4.5960)
= $99.09

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,120)
= Exp(a + b × X1,120 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,626 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.9153 + -0.0015 × 1,626 – 2 × 0.0529)
= Exp(4.3842)
= $80.17

March 31, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.9153 + -0.0015 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0529)
= Exp(4.2992)
= $73.64

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.9153 + -0.0015 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0529)
= Exp(4.0874)
= $59.58
