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 ELV 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: December 14, 2021
End date: February 6, 2024

a = 6.1491

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0481

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -0.36%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0481) – 1
= 21.22%

December 14, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y520)
= Exp(a + b × X520 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 755 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1491 + 0.0000 × 755 + 2 × 0.0481)
= Exp(6.2379)
= $511.80

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y520)
= Exp(a + b × X520 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 755 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1491 + 0.0000 × 755 – 2 × 0.0481)
= Exp(6.0455)
= $422.20

February 6, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,058)
= Exp(a + b × X1,058 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,539 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1491 + 0.0000 × 1,539 + 2 × 0.0481)
= Exp(6.2302)
= $507.87

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,058)
= Exp(a + b × X1,058 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,539 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1491 + 0.0000 × 1,539 – 2 × 0.0481)
= Exp(6.0378)
= $418.96
