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 FOUR 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: April 12, 2024
End date: February 3, 2025

a = 0.8225

b = 0.0023

s = 0.0591

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0023) – 1
= 132.44%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0591) – 1
= 26.67%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y969)
= Exp(a + b × X969 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,407 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.8225 + 0.0023 × 1,407 + 2 × 0.0591)
= Exp(4.1922)
= $66.17

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y969)
= Exp(a + b × X969 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,407 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.8225 + 0.0023 × 1,407 – 2 × 0.0591)
= Exp(3.9558)
= $52.24

= Exp(a + b × 1,704 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.8225 + 0.0023 × 1,704 + 2 × 0.0591)
= Exp(4.8785)
= $131.43

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,171)
= Exp(a + b × X1,171 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,704 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.8225 + 0.0023 × 1,704 – 2 × 0.0591)
= Exp(4.6421)
= $103.76
