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 CAKE 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 5, 2023
End date: April 2, 2025

a = 2.0071

b = 0.0011

s = 0.0601

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0011) – 1
= 48.25%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0601) – 1
= 27.17%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y843)
= Exp(a + b × X843 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,224 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0071 + 0.0011 × 1,224 + 2 × 0.0601)
= Exp(3.4475)
= $31.42

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y843)
= Exp(a + b × X843 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,224 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0071 + 0.0011 × 1,224 – 2 × 0.0601)
= Exp(3.2072)
= $24.71

April 2, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,238)
= Exp(a + b × X1,238 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,799 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0071 + 0.0011 × 1,799 + 2 × 0.0601)
= Exp(4.0677)
= $58.43

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,238)
= Exp(a + b × X1,238 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,799 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0071 + 0.0011 × 1,799 – 2 × 0.0601)
= Exp(3.8274)
= $45.94

Description

Secondary Trend

Start date: January 27, 2025
End date: April 17, 2025

a = 7.8850

b = -0.0022

s = 0.0417

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0022) – 1
= -55.77%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0417) – 1
= 18.16%

January 27, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,192)
= Exp(a + b × X1,192 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,734 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.8850 + -0.0022 × 1,734 + 2 × 0.0417)
= Exp(4.0929)
= $59.91

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,192)

= Exp(3.9260)
= $50.70

April 17, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,249)
= Exp(a + b × X1,249 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,814 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.8850 + -0.0022 × 1,814 + 2 × 0.0417)
= Exp(3.9141)
= $50.10

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,249)
= Exp(a + b × X1,249 – 2 × s)
