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 MA 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: August 26, 2022
End date: November 19, 2024

a = 5.1672

b = 0.0006

s = 0.0449

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 23.78%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0449) – 1
= 19.69%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y696)
= Exp(a + b × X696 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,010 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1672 + 0.0006 × 1,010 + 2 × 0.0449)
= Exp(5.8473)
= $346.31

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y696)
= Exp(a + b × X696 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,010 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1672 + 0.0006 × 1,010 – 2 × 0.0449)
= Exp(5.6676)
= $289.33
