Key facts

  • The primary trend is decreasing.
  • The decline rate of the primary trend is 6.36% per annum.
  • A price at the close of May 10, 2024 was $149.76 and was higher than the top border of the primary price channel by $4.34 (2.98%). This indicates a possible reversal in the primary trend direction.
  • The secondary trend is increasing.

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 A 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: April 8, 2021
End date: February 28, 2024

a = 5.1155

b = -0.0002

s = 0.0962

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -6.36%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0962) – 1
= 46.94%

April 8, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y480)
= Exp(a + b × X480 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 696 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1155 + -0.0002 × 696 + 2 × 0.0962)
= Exp(5.1827)
= $178.16

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y480)
= Exp(a + b × X480 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 696 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1155 + -0.0002 × 696 – 2 × 0.0962)
= Exp(4.7978)
= $121.25

February 28, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,207)
= Exp(a + b × X1,207 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,752 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1155 + -0.0002 × 1,752 + 2 × 0.0962)
= Exp(4.9926)
= $147.32

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,207)
= Exp(a + b × X1,207 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,752 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1155 + -0.0002 × 1,752 – 2 × 0.0962)
= Exp(4.6077)
= $100.26

a = 2.2277

b = 0.0015

s = 0.0514

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0015) – 1
= 75.87%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1

= 22.85%

September 7, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,088)
= Exp(a + b × X1,088 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,578 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.2277 + 0.0015 × 1,578 + 2 × 0.0514)
= Exp(4.7714)
= $118.09

Bottom border of price channel:
