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 CTLT 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: January 7, 2021
End date: January 24, 2024

a = 5.6606

b = -0.0012

s = 0.2135

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0012) – 1
= -35.67%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.2135) – 1
= 134.90%

January 7, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y366)
= Exp(a + b × X366 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 531 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6606 + -0.0012 × 531 + 2 × 0.2135)
= Exp(5.4458)
= $231.79

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y366)
= Exp(a + b × X366 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 531 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6606 + -0.0012 × 531 – 2 × 0.2135)
= Exp(4.5919)
= $98.68

January 24, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,131)
= Exp(a + b × X1,131 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,643 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6606 + -0.0012 × 1,643 + 2 × 0.2135)
= Exp(4.1019)
= $60.45

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,131)
= Exp(a + b × X1,131 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,643 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6606 + -0.0012 × 1,643 – 2 × 0.2135)
= Exp(3.2479)
= $25.74

a = 2.3214

b = 0.0010

s = 0.1072

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0010) – 1
= 42.17%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1

= 53.55%

May 8, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y952)
= Exp(a + b × X952 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,382 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.3214 + 0.0010 × 1,382 + 2 × 0.1072)
= Exp(3.8680)
= $47.85

Bottom border of price channel:
