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 ABG 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 6, 2021
End date: July 11, 2024

a = 5.0076

b = 0.0002

s = 0.1025

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
= 8.32%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1025) – 1
= 50.67%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y364)
= Exp(a + b × X364 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 527 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.0076 + 0.0002 × 527 + 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(5.3280)
= $206.02

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y364)
= Exp(a + b × X364 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 527 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.0076 + 0.0002 × 527 – 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(4.9181)
= $136.74

= Exp(a + b × X1,246 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,809 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.0076 + 0.0002 × 1,809 + 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(5.6088)
= $272.81

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,246)
= Exp(a + b × X1,246 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,809 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.0076 + 0.0002 × 1,809 – 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(5.1988)
= $181.06
