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 SCI 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: July 28, 2021
End date: February 12, 2024

a = 4.1197

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0672

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= 0.82%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0672) – 1
= 30.83%

July 28, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y378)
= Exp(a + b × X378 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 547 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1197 + 0.0000 × 547 + 2 × 0.0672)
= Exp(4.2663)
= $71.26

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y378)
= Exp(a + b × X378 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 547 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1197 + 0.0000 × 547 – 2 × 0.0672)
= Exp(3.9976)
= $54.47

February 12, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,017)
= Exp(a + b × X1,017 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,476 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1197 + 0.0000 × 1,476 + 2 × 0.0672)
= Exp(4.2871)
= $72.75

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,017)
= Exp(a + b × X1,017 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,476 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1197 + 0.0000 × 1,476 – 2 × 0.0672)
= Exp(4.0183)
= $55.61

a = 3.0508

b = 0.0008

s = 0.0528

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0008) – 1
= 32.52%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0528) – 1
= 23.50%

August 7, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y887)
= Exp(a + b × X887 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,287 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0508 + 0.0008 × 1,287 + 2 × 0.0528)
= Exp(4.1492)
= $63.39

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y887)
