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: November 15, 2023
End date: April 11, 2024

a = 2.1184

b = 0.0021

s = 0.0339

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0021) – 1
= 114.81%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0339) – 1
= 14.53%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,147)
= Exp(a + b × X1,147 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,661 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1184 + 0.0021 × 1,661 + 2 × 0.0339)
= Exp(5.6657)
= $288.78

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,147)
= Exp(a + b × X1,147 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,661 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1184 + 0.0021 × 1,661 – 2 × 0.0339)
= Exp(5.5300)
= $252.15
