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 AVB 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 2, 2022
End date: April 2, 2025

a = 4.5729

b = 0.0005

s = 0.0541

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0005) – 1
= 18.56%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0541) – 1
= 24.18%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y633)
= Exp(a + b × X633 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 916 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5729 + 0.0005 × 916 + 2 × 0.0541)
= Exp(5.1085)
= $165.42

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y633)
= Exp(a + b × X633 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 916 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5729 + 0.0005 × 916 – 2 × 0.0541)
= Exp(4.8919)
= $133.21

= Exp(a + b × X1,237 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,798 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5729 + 0.0005 × 1,798 + 2 × 0.0541)
= Exp(5.5199)
= $249.62

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,798 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5729 + 0.0005 × 1,798 – 2 × 0.0541)
= Exp(5.3034)
= $201.01
