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 CAH 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

Start date: August 5, 2021
End date: April 19, 2024
a = 3.1426
b = 0.0010
s = 0.0640
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0010) – 1
= 43.89%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0640) – 1
= 29.18%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y414)
= Exp(a + b × X414 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 602 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.1426 + 0.0010 × 602 + 2 × 0.0640)
= Exp(3.8708)
= $47.98
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y414)
= Exp(a + b × X414 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 602 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.1426 + 0.0010 × 602 – 2 × 0.0640)
= Exp(3.6148)
= $37.14

= Exp(4.8558)
= $128.48
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,094)
= Exp(a + b × X1,094 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,590 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.1426 + 0.0010 × 1,590 – 2 × 0.0640)
= Exp(4.5997)
