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 NOW 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: September 19, 2022
End date: February 19, 2025

a = 4.8091

b = 0.0012

s = 0.0687

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0012) – 1
= 56.47%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0687) – 1
= 31.62%

September 19, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y621)
= Exp(a + b × X621 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 901 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8091 + 0.0012 × 901 + 2 × 0.0687)
= Exp(6.0517)
= $424.83

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y621)
= Exp(a + b × X621 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 901 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8091 + 0.0012 × 901 – 2 × 0.0687)
= Exp(5.7769)
= $322.76

February 19, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,227)
= Exp(a + b × X1,227 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,785 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8091 + 0.0012 × 1,785 + 2 × 0.0687)
= Exp(7.1360)
= $1,256.43

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,227)
= Exp(a + b × X1,227 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,785 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8091 + 0.0012 × 1,785 – 2 × 0.0687)
= Exp(6.8612)
= $954.56
