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 AFG 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: October 6, 2021
End date: February 20, 2024
a = 4.7764
b = 0.0000
s = 0.0594
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -1.12%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0594) – 1
= 26.83%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y554)
= Exp(a + b × X554 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 803 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7764 + 0.0000 × 803 + 2 × 0.0594)
= Exp(4.8705)
= $130.38
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y554)
= Exp(a + b × X554 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 803 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7764 + 0.0000 × 803 – 2 × 0.0594)
= Exp(4.6328)
= $102.80
