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 14, 2021
End date: February 6, 2024

a = 6.1533

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0481

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -0.36%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0481) – 1
= 21.22%

December 14, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y602)
= Exp(a + b × X602 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 872 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1533 + 0.0000 × 872 + 2 × 0.0481)
= Exp(6.2409)
= $513.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y602)
= Exp(a + b × X602 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 872 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1533 + 0.0000 × 872 – 2 × 0.0481)
= Exp(6.0485)
= $423.47

February 6, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,140)
= Exp(a + b × X1,140 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,656 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1533 + 0.0000 × 1,656 + 2 × 0.0481)
= Exp(6.2332)
= $509.39

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,140)
= Exp(a + b × X1,140 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,656 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1533 + 0.0000 × 1,656 – 2 × 0.0481)
= Exp(6.0408)
= $420.22
