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 MUR 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: March 25, 2024
End date: November 20, 2024

a = 6.3644

b = -0.0016

s = 0.0333

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0016) – 1
= -44.11%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0333) – 1
= 14.26%

March 25, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,090)
= Exp(a + b × X1,090 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,586 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.3644 + -0.0016 × 1,586 + 2 × 0.0333)
= Exp(3.9035)
= $49.58

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,090)
= Exp(a + b × X1,090 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,586 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.3644 + -0.0016 × 1,586 – 2 × 0.0333)
= Exp(3.7702)
= $43.39

November 20, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.3644 + -0.0016 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0333)
= Exp(3.5210)
= $33.82

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.3644 + -0.0016 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0333)
= Exp(3.3877)
= $29.60
