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 EHC 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: October 23, 2023
End date: May 17, 2024

a = 1.4737

b = 0.0016

s = 0.0164

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0016) – 1
= 81.34%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0164) – 1
= 6.79%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,115)
= Exp(a + b × X1,115 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,617 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.4737 + 0.0016 × 1,617 + 2 × 0.0164)
= Exp(4.1435)
= $63.02

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,115)
= Exp(a + b × X1,115 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,617 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.4737 + 0.0016 × 1,617 – 2 × 0.0164)
= Exp(4.0778)
= $59.02

= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.4737 + 0.0016 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.0164)
= Exp(4.4811)
= $88.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.4737 + 0.0016 × 1,824 – 2 × 0.0164)
= Exp(4.4154)
= $82.71
