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 HCSG 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: September 7, 2023
End date: November 19, 2024
a = 2.0385
b = 0.0002
s = 0.0751
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
= 7.96%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0751) – 1
= 35.04%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y954)
= Exp(a + b × X954 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,387 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0385 + 0.0002 × 1,387 + 2 × 0.0751)
= Exp(2.4797)
= $11.94
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y954)
= Exp(a + b × X954 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,387 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0385 + 0.0002 × 1,387 – 2 × 0.0751)
= Exp(2.1793)
= $8.84
