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 PGR 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: May 25, 2023
End date: November 19, 2024

a = 2.8914

b = 0.0015

s = 0.0470

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0015) – 1
= 71.75%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0470) – 1
= 20.66%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y883)
= Exp(a + b × X883 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,282 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8914 + 0.0015 × 1,282 + 2 × 0.0470)
= Exp(4.8851)
= $132.30

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y883)
= Exp(a + b × X883 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,282 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8914 + 0.0015 × 1,282 – 2 × 0.0470)
= Exp(4.6973)
= $109.65

= Exp(5.6913)
= $296.27

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
