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 BC 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 11, 2021
End date: November 30, 2023

a = 4.6769

b = -0.0002

s = 0.1016

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -8.48%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1016) – 1
= 50.13%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y415)
= Exp(a + b × X415 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 602 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6769 + -0.0002 × 602 + 2 × 0.1016)
= Exp(4.7339)
= $113.73

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y415)
= Exp(a + b × X415 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 602 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6769 + -0.0002 × 602 – 2 × 0.1016)
= Exp(4.3275)
= $75.76

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,142)
= Exp(a + b × X1,142 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,655 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6769 + -0.0002 × 1,655 + 2 × 0.1016)
= Exp(4.4781)
= $88.07

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,142)
= Exp(a + b × X1,142 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,655 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6769 + -0.0002 × 1,655 – 2 × 0.1016)
= Exp(4.0718)
= $58.66
