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 VIRT 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 25, 2024
End date: October 16, 2024

a = -1.5227

b = 0.0028

s = 0.0518

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0028) – 1
= 173.39%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0518) – 1
= 23.04%

January 25, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,074)
= Exp(a + b × X1,074 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,561 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-1.5227 + 0.0028 × 1,561 + 2 × 0.0518)
= Exp(2.8821)
= $17.85

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,074)
= Exp(a + b × X1,074 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,561 – 2 × s)
= Exp(-1.5227 + 0.0028 × 1,561 – 2 × 0.0518)
= Exp(2.6748)
= $14.51

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-1.5227 + 0.0028 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0518)
= Exp(3.6123)
= $37.05

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(-1.5227 + 0.0028 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0518)
= Exp(3.4050)
= $30.11
