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: November 14, 2023
End date: July 19, 2024

a = 7.3189

b = -0.0020

s = 0.0630

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0020) – 1
= -52.50%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0630) – 1
= 28.65%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,084)
= Exp(a + b × X1,084 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,572 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.3189 + -0.0020 × 1,572 + 2 × 0.0630)
= Exp(4.2389)
= $69.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,084)
= Exp(a + b × X1,084 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,572 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.3189 + -0.0020 × 1,572 – 2 × 0.0630)
= Exp(3.9870)
= $53.89

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,253)
= Exp(a + b × X1,253 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,820 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.3189 + -0.0020 × 1,820 + 2 × 0.0630)
= Exp(3.7331)
= $41.81

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,253)
= Exp(a + b × X1,253 – 2 × s)
