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 HD 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: February 21, 2023
End date: February 20, 2025

a = 4.9822

b = 0.0006

s = 0.0541

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 23.64%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0541) – 1
= 24.18%

February 21, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y727)
= Exp(a + b × X727 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,056 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9822 + 0.0006 × 1,056 + 2 × 0.0541)
= Exp(5.7045)
= $300.20

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y727)
= Exp(a + b × X727 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,056 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9822 + 0.0006 × 1,056 – 2 × 0.0541)
= Exp(5.4879)
= $241.74

February 20, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,228)
= Exp(a + b × X1,228 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,786 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9822 + 0.0006 × 1,786 + 2 × 0.0541)
= Exp(6.1289)
= $458.93

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,228)
= Exp(a + b × X1,228 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,786 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9822 + 0.0006 × 1,786 – 2 × 0.0541)
= Exp(5.9123)
= $369.56

Description

  • The primary trend is increasing.
  • The growth rate of the primary trend is 23.64% per annum.
  • HD price at the close of March 31, 2025 was $366.49 and was lower than the bottom border of the primary price channel by $11.54 (3.05%). This indicates a possible reversal in the primary trend direction.
