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 CI 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: February 7, 2024
End date: July 11, 2025

a = 6.1106

b = -0.0002

s = 0.0566

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -7.48%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0566) – 1
= 25.42%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y898)
= Exp(a + b × X898 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,303 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1106 + -0.0002 × 1,303 + 2 × 0.0566)
= Exp(5.9462)
= $382.28

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y898)
= Exp(a + b × X898 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,303 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1106 + -0.0002 × 1,303 – 2 × 0.0566)
= Exp(5.7197)
= $304.81

= Exp(5.8354)
= $342.19

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,254)
