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 STRA 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 4, 2021
End date: August 1, 2024

a = 3.4292

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0979

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 30.68%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0979) – 1
= 47.93%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y492)
= Exp(a + b × X492 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 714 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4292 + 0.0007 × 714 + 2 × 0.0979)
= Exp(4.1484)
= $63.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y492)
= Exp(a + b × X492 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 714 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4292 + 0.0007 × 714 – 2 × 0.0979)
= Exp(3.7569)
= $42.81

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,179)
= Exp(a + b × X1,179 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,715 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4292 + 0.0007 × 1,715 + 2 × 0.0979)
= Exp(4.8823)
= $131.94

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,179)
= Exp(a + b × X1,179 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,715 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4292 + 0.0007 × 1,715 – 2 × 0.0979)
= Exp(4.4908)
= $89.19

Description

  • The primary trend is increasing.

a = 7.7880

b = -0.0018

s = 0.0473

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0018) – 1
= -49.01%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0473) – 1
= 20.83%

April 25, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,112)
= Exp(a + b × X1,112 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,617 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.7880 + -0.0018 × 1,617 + 2 × 0.0473)
= Exp(4.8986)
= $134.10

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,112)

November 5, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,246)
= Exp(a + b × X1,246 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,811 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.7880 + -0.0018 × 1,811 + 2 × 0.0473)
= Exp(4.5406)
= $93.75

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,246)
