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 CERT 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 7, 2023
End date: April 15, 2024

a = 1.0262

b = 0.0016

s = 0.0669

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0016) – 1
= 76.85%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0669) – 1
= 30.71%

September 7, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y687)
= Exp(a + b × X687 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,000 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.0262 + 0.0016 × 1,000 + 2 × 0.0669)
= Exp(2.7221)
= $15.21

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y687)
= Exp(a + b × X687 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,000 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.0262 + 0.0016 × 1,000 – 2 × 0.0669)
= Exp(2.4543)
= $11.64

April 15, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y838)
= Exp(a + b × X838 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,221 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.0262 + 0.0016 × 1,221 + 2 × 0.0669)
= Exp(3.0673)
= $21.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y838)
= Exp(a + b × X838 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,221 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.0262 + 0.0016 × 1,221 – 2 × 0.0669)
= Exp(2.7995)
= $16.44

a = 5.0653

b = -0.0018

s = 0.0367

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0018) – 1
