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 ELV 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: December 15, 2021
End date: February 6, 2024

a = 6.1593

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0480

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -0.41%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0480) – 1
= 21.15%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y663)
= Exp(a + b × X663 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 959 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1593 + 0.0000 × 959 + 2 × 0.0480)
= Exp(6.2444)
= $515.12

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y663)
= Exp(a + b × X663 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 959 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1593 + 0.0000 × 959 – 2 × 0.0480)
= Exp(6.0526)
= $425.20

February 6, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,200)
= Exp(a + b × X1,200 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,742 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1593 + 0.0000 × 1,742 + 2 × 0.0480)
= Exp(6.2356)
= $510.59

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,200)
= Exp(a + b × X1,200 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,742 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1593 + 0.0000 × 1,742 – 2 × 0.0480)
= Exp(6.0437)
= $421.47
