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 CRM 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: August 29, 2022
End date: May 24, 2024

a = 3.5279

b = 0.0012

s = 0.0831

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0012) – 1
= 57.42%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0831) – 1
= 39.45%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y778)
= Exp(a + b × X778 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,127 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5279 + 0.0012 × 1,127 + 2 × 0.0831)
= Exp(5.0953)
= $163.25

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y778)
= Exp(a + b × X778 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,127 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5279 + 0.0012 × 1,127 – 2 × 0.0831)
= Exp(4.7627)
= $117.07

May 24, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,215)
= Exp(a + b × X1,215 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,761 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5279 + 0.0012 × 1,761 + 2 × 0.0831)
= Exp(5.8835)
= $359.05

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,215)
= Exp(a + b × X1,215 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,761 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5279 + 0.0012 × 1,761 – 2 × 0.0831)
= Exp(5.5509)
= $257.48
