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 FORM 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 15, 2022
End date: July 31, 2024
a = 1.7289
b = 0.0013
s = 0.0923
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 62.03%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0923) – 1
= 44.68%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y709)
= Exp(a + b × X709 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,030 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7289 + 0.0013 × 1,030 + 2 × 0.0923)
= Exp(3.2754)
= $26.45
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y709)
= Exp(a + b × X709 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,030 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7289 + 0.0013 × 1,030 – 2 × 0.0923)
= Exp(2.9061)
= $18.29

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,179)
= Exp(a + b × X1,179 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,715 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7289 + 0.0013 × 1,715 + 2 × 0.0923)
= Exp(4.1811)
= $65.44
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,179)
= Exp(a + b × X1,179 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,715 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7289 + 0.0013 × 1,715 – 2 × 0.0923)
= Exp(3.8118)
= $45.23
