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 J 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: October 16, 2024
End date: April 24, 2025
a = 6.7494
b = -0.0011
s = 0.0308
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0011) – 1
= -32.62%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0308) – 1
= 13.10%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,126)
= Exp(a + b × X1,126 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,633 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.7494 + -0.0011 × 1,633 + 2 × 0.0308)
= Exp(5.0443)
= $155.13
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,126)
= Exp(a + b × X1,126 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,633 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.7494 + -0.0011 × 1,633 – 2 × 0.0308)
= Exp(4.9212)
= $137.17

= Exp(4.8387)
= $126.31
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
