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 CARG 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

End date: January 13, 2026
a = 2.1995
b = 0.0008
s = 0.1124
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0008) – 1
= 36.03%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1124) – 1
= 56.78%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y394)
= Exp(a + b × X394 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 571 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1995 + 0.0008 × 571 + 2 × 0.1124)
= Exp(2.9057)
= $18.28
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y394)
= Exp(a + b × X394 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 571 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1995 + 0.0008 × 571 – 2 × 0.1124)
= Exp(2.4560)
= $11.66
