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 BLKB 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: June 13, 2022
End date: February 12, 2024

a = 3.0382

b = 0.0008

s = 0.0740

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0008) – 1
= 33.55%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0740) – 1
= 34.44%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y779)
= Exp(a + b × X779 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,130 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0382 + 0.0008 × 1,130 + 2 × 0.0740)
= Exp(4.0820)
= $59.26

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y779)
= Exp(a + b × X779 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,130 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0382 + 0.0008 × 1,130 – 2 × 0.0740)
= Exp(3.7860)
= $44.08

February 12, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,197)
= Exp(a + b × X1,197 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,739 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0382 + 0.0008 × 1,739 + 2 × 0.0740)
= Exp(4.5647)
= $96.04

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,197)
= Exp(a + b × X1,197 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,739 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0382 + 0.0008 × 1,739 – 2 × 0.0740)
= Exp(4.2688)
= $71.43
