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 XEL 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: June 11, 2024
End date: December 2, 2024

a = 0.9823

b = 0.0018

s = 0.0248

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0018) – 1
= 92.69%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0248) – 1
= 10.44%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,137)
= Exp(a + b × X1,137 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,652 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.9823 + 0.0018 × 1,652 + 2 × 0.0248)
= Exp(4.0008)
= $54.64

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,137)
= Exp(a + b × X1,137 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,652 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.9823 + 0.0018 × 1,652 – 2 × 0.0248)
= Exp(3.9014)
= $49.47
