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: April 3, 2025
End date: August 29, 2025

a = 1.4959

b = 0.0019

s = 0.0207

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0019) – 1
= 103.41%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0207) – 1
= 8.64%

April 3, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,140)
= Exp(a + b × X1,140 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,658 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.4959 + 0.0019 × 1,658 + 2 × 0.0207)
= Exp(4.7626)
= $117.06

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,140)
= Exp(a + b × X1,140 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,658 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.4959 + 0.0019 × 1,658 – 2 × 0.0207)
= Exp(4.6797)
= $107.74

August 29, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,242)
= Exp(a + b × X1,242 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,806 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.4959 + 0.0019 × 1,806 + 2 × 0.0207)
= Exp(5.0505)
= $156.11

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,242)
= Exp(a + b × X1,242 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,806 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.4959 + 0.0019 × 1,806 – 2 × 0.0207)
= Exp(4.9677)
= $143.69
