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 CAG 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: October 18, 2022
End date: March 18, 2024

a = 4.2559

b = -0.0006

s = 0.0594

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0006) – 1
= -20.67%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0594) – 1
= 26.81%

October 18, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y731)
= Exp(a + b × X731 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,062 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2559 + -0.0006 × 1,062 + 2 × 0.0594)
= Exp(3.7008)
= $40.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y731)
= Exp(a + b × X731 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,062 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2559 + -0.0006 × 1,062 – 2 × 0.0594)
= Exp(3.4633)
= $31.92

March 18, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,085)
= Exp(a + b × X1,085 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,579 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2559 + -0.0006 × 1,579 + 2 × 0.0594)
= Exp(3.3727)
= $29.16

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,085)
= Exp(a + b × X1,085 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,579 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2559 + -0.0006 × 1,579 – 2 × 0.0594)
= Exp(3.1352)
= $22.99

Description
