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 PRGS 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: November 6, 2024
End date: March 31, 2025

a = 7.7607

b = -0.0021

s = 0.0359

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0021) – 1
= -53.23%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0359) – 1
= 15.45%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,158)
= Exp(a + b × X1,158 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,680 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.7607 + -0.0021 × 1,680 + 2 × 0.0359)
= Exp(4.3345)
= $76.28

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,158)
= Exp(a + b × X1,158 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,680 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.7607 + -0.0021 × 1,680 – 2 × 0.0359)
= Exp(4.1908)
= $66.07

March 31, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.7607 + -0.0021 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0359)
= Exp(4.0325)
= $56.40

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.7607 + -0.0021 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0359)
= Exp(3.8889)
= $48.85

Secondary Trend

Start date: January 22, 2025
End date: March 31, 2025

a = 5.4208

b = -0.0008

s = 0.0242

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0008) – 1
= -24.86%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0242) – 1
= 10.18%

January 22, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,208)
= Exp(a + b × X1,208 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,757 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4208 + -0.0008 × 1,757 + 2 × 0.0242)
= Exp(4.0935)
= $59.95

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,208)
= Exp(a + b × X1,208 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,757 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4208 + -0.0008 × 1,757 – 2 × 0.0242)
= Exp(3.9965)
= $54.41

March 31, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:
