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 MLAB 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 2, 2023
End date: January 24, 2025

a = 3.5222

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0880

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 30.88%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0880) – 1
= 42.19%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y927)
= Exp(a + b × X927 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,344 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5222 + 0.0007 × 1,344 + 2 × 0.0880)
= Exp(4.6892)
= $108.76

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y927)
= Exp(a + b × X927 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,344 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5222 + 0.0007 × 1,344 – 2 × 0.0880)
= Exp(4.3372)
= $76.49

= Exp(5.0431)
= $154.95

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,256)
