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 DLB 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 5, 2020
End date: January 17, 2023

a = 4.8500

b = -0.0005

s = 0.0699

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
= -15.76%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0699) – 1
= 32.26%

November 5, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y377)
= Exp(a + b × X377 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 545 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8500 + -0.0005 × 545 + 2 × 0.0699)
= Exp(4.7337)
= $113.71

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y377)
= Exp(a + b × X377 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 545 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8500 + -0.0005 × 545 – 2 × 0.0699)
= Exp(4.4540)
= $85.97

January 17, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y928)
= Exp(a + b × X928 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,348 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8500 + -0.0005 × 1,348 + 2 × 0.0699)
= Exp(4.3563)
= $77.96

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y928)
= Exp(a + b × X928 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,348 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8500 + -0.0005 × 1,348 – 2 × 0.0699)
= Exp(4.0766)
= $58.95

Secondary Trend

Start date: February 4, 2022
End date: May 9, 2024

a = 4.0183

b = 0.0002

s = 0.0608

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
= 9.00%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0608) – 1
= 27.54%

February 4, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y691)
= Exp(a + b × X691 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,001 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0183 + 0.0002 × 1,001 + 2 × 0.0608)
= Exp(4.3764)
= $79.55

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y691)
= Exp(a + b × X691 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,001 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0183 + 0.0002 × 1,001 – 2 × 0.0608)
= Exp(4.1331)
= $62.37

May 9, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0183 + 0.0002 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0608)
= Exp(4.5712)
= $96.66

Bottom border of price channel:
