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

Start date: September 28, 2023
End date: March 27, 2025
a = 3.5684
b = 0.0007
s = 0.0872
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 31.47%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0872) – 1
= 41.75%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y866)
= Exp(a + b × X866 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5684 + 0.0007 × 1,255 + 2 × 0.0872)
= Exp(4.6835)
= $108.15
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y866)
= Exp(a + b × X866 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5684 + 0.0007 × 1,255 – 2 × 0.0872)
= Exp(4.3346)
= $76.29

Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,240)
= Exp(a + b × X1,240 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,801 – 2 × s)
