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 AMPH 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: December 12, 2023
End date: April 30, 2024

a = 9.9797

b = -0.0035

s = 0.0479

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0035) – 1
= -71.86%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0479) – 1
= 21.12%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,156)
= Exp(a + b × X1,156 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,677 + 2 × s)
= Exp(9.9797 + -0.0035 × 1,677 + 2 × 0.0479)
= Exp(4.2493)
= $70.05

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,156)
= Exp(a + b × X1,156 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,677 – 2 × s)
= Exp(9.9797 + -0.0035 × 1,677 – 2 × 0.0479)
= Exp(4.0577)
= $57.84

April 30, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,251)
= Exp(a + b × X1,251 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,817 + 2 × s)
= Exp(9.9797 + -0.0035 × 1,817 + 2 × 0.0479)
= Exp(3.7629)
= $43.07

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,251)
= Exp(a + b × X1,251 – 2 × s)
