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 12, 2023
End date: June 10, 2024

a = 1.7493

b = 0.0015

s = 0.0192

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0015) – 1
= 74.75%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0192) – 1
= 7.99%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,061)
= Exp(a + b × X1,061 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,539 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7493 + 0.0015 × 1,539 + 2 × 0.0192)
= Exp(4.1414)
= $62.89

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,061)
= Exp(a + b × X1,061 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,539 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7493 + 0.0015 × 1,539 – 2 × 0.0192)
= Exp(4.0645)
= $58.24

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,226)
= Exp(a + b × X1,226 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,781 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7493 + 0.0015 × 1,781 + 2 × 0.0192)
= Exp(4.5115)
= $91.06

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,226)
= Exp(a + b × X1,226 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,781 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7493 + 0.0015 × 1,781 – 2 × 0.0192)
= Exp(4.4346)
= $84.32
