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 BLDR 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: September 16, 2024
End date: April 29, 2025

a = 9.1049

b = -0.0024

s = 0.0587

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0024) – 1
= -57.86%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0587) – 1
= 26.46%

September 16, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,101)
= Exp(a + b × X1,101 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,600 + 2 × s)
= Exp(9.1049 + -0.0024 × 1,600 + 2 × 0.0587)
= Exp(5.4336)
= $228.97

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,101)
= Exp(a + b × X1,101 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,600 – 2 × s)
= Exp(9.1049 + -0.0024 × 1,600 – 2 × 0.0587)
= Exp(5.1988)
= $181.06

April 29, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(9.1049 + -0.0024 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0587)
= Exp(4.9008)
= $134.40

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(9.1049 + -0.0024 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0587)
= Exp(4.6660)
= $106.27
