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 VTLE 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: September 15, 2021
End date: April 1, 2025

a = 4.8464

b = -0.0008

s = 0.1630

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0008) – 1
= -24.81%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1630) – 1
= 91.94%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y366)
= Exp(a + b × X366 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 531 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8464 + -0.0008 × 531 + 2 × 0.1630)
= Exp(4.7575)
= $116.46

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y366)
= Exp(a + b × X366 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 531 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8464 + -0.0008 × 531 – 2 × 0.1630)
= Exp(4.1055)
= $60.68

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8464 + -0.0008 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.1630)
= Exp(3.7464)
= $42.37

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8464 + -0.0008 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.1630)
= Exp(3.0945)
= $22.08
