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 CERT 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: March 2, 2022
End date: August 6, 2024

a = 3.0554

b = -0.0002

s = 0.1646

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -7.91%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1646) – 1
= 93.14%

March 2, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y306)
= Exp(a + b × X306 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 446 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0554 + -0.0002 × 446 + 2 × 0.1646)
= Exp(3.2838)
= $26.68

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y306)
= Exp(a + b × X306 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 446 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0554 + -0.0002 × 446 – 2 × 0.1646)
= Exp(2.6256)
= $13.81

August 6, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y916)
= Exp(a + b × X916 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,334 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0554 + -0.0002 × 1,334 + 2 × 0.1646)
= Exp(3.0833)
= $21.83

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y916)
= Exp(a + b × X916 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,334 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0554 + -0.0002 × 1,334 – 2 × 0.1646)
= Exp(2.4251)
= $11.30

a = 3.7160

b = -0.0008

s = 0.1371

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0008) – 1
= -26.51%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1371) – 1
= 73.07%

January 25, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y532)
= Exp(a + b × X532 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 775 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.7160 + -0.0008 × 775 + 2 × 0.1371)
= Exp(3.3364)
= $28.12

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y532)
