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: February 9, 2024
End date: December 6, 2024

a = 5.5665

b = -0.0022

s = 0.0748

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0022) – 1
= -55.78%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0748) – 1
= 34.90%

February 9, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y794)
= Exp(a + b × X794 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,155 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.5665 + -0.0022 × 1,155 + 2 × 0.0748)
= Exp(3.1341)
= $22.97

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y794)
= Exp(a + b × X794 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,155 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.5665 + -0.0022 × 1,155 – 2 × 0.0748)
= Exp(2.8347)
= $17.03

December 6, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,002)
= Exp(a + b × X1,002 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,456 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.5665 + -0.0022 × 1,456 + 2 × 0.0748)
= Exp(2.4612)
= $11.72

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,002)
= Exp(a + b × X1,002 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,456 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.5665 + -0.0022 × 1,456 – 2 × 0.0748)
= Exp(2.1618)
= $8.69
