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 IRWD 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 13, 2023
End date: December 19, 2024

a = 8.1008

b = -0.0039

s = 0.1403

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0039) – 1
= -75.65%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1403) – 1
= 75.26%

December 13, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y977)
= Exp(a + b × X977 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,415 + 2 × s)
= Exp(8.1008 + -0.0039 × 1,415 + 2 × 0.1403)
= Exp(2.9054)
= $18.27

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y977)
= Exp(a + b × X977 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,415 – 2 × s)
= Exp(8.1008 + -0.0039 × 1,415 – 2 × 0.1403)
= Exp(2.3443)
= $10.43

December 19, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,233)
= Exp(a + b × X1,233 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,787 + 2 × s)
= Exp(8.1008 + -0.0039 × 1,787 + 2 × 0.1403)
= Exp(1.4658)
= $4.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,233)
= Exp(a + b × X1,233 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,787 – 2 × s)
= Exp(8.1008 + -0.0039 × 1,787 – 2 × 0.1403)
= Exp(0.9047)
= $2.47
