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 ECL 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

Start date: September 22, 2022
End date: November 19, 2024
a = 4.0614
b = 0.0008
s = 0.0478
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0008) – 1
= 35.07%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0478) – 1
= 21.07%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y713)
= Exp(a + b × X713 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,036 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0614 + 0.0008 × 1,036 + 2 × 0.0478)
= Exp(5.0102)
= $149.93
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y713)
= Exp(a + b × X713 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,036 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0614 + 0.0008 × 1,036 – 2 × 0.0478)
= Exp(4.8190)
= $123.84
