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 PSN 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: January 5, 2023
End date: December 6, 2024

a = 2.1458

b = 0.0014

s = 0.0635

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0014) – 1
= 68.04%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0635) – 1
= 28.90%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y740)
= Exp(a + b × X740 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,072 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1458 + 0.0014 × 1,072 + 2 × 0.0635)
= Exp(3.7971)
= $44.57

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y740)
= Exp(a + b × X740 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,072 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1458 + 0.0014 × 1,072 – 2 × 0.0635)
= Exp(3.5433)
= $34.58

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,223)
= Exp(a + b × X1,223 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,773 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1458 + 0.0014 × 1,773 + 2 × 0.0635)
= Exp(4.7940)
= $120.79

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,223)
= Exp(a + b × X1,223 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,773 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1458 + 0.0014 × 1,773 – 2 × 0.0635)
= Exp(4.5402)
= $93.71
