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 SLM 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: February 2, 2021
End date: December 6, 2023
a = 2.9807
b = -0.0002
s = 0.0883
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -8.28%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0883) – 1
= 42.33%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y301)
= Exp(a + b × X301 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 440 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9807 + -0.0002 × 440 + 2 × 0.0883)
= Exp(3.0530)
= $21.18
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y301)
= Exp(a + b × X301 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 440 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9807 + -0.0002 × 440 – 2 × 0.0883)
= Exp(2.7000)
= $14.88

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,017)
= Exp(a + b × X1,017 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,477 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9807 + -0.0002 × 1,477 + 2 × 0.0883)
= Exp(2.8074)
= $16.57
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,017)
= Exp(a + b × X1,017 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,477 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9807 + -0.0002 × 1,477 – 2 × 0.0883)
= Exp(2.4544)
= $11.64
