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 EVTC 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: April 8, 2021
End date: May 16, 2023

a = 4.1759

b = -0.0005

s = 0.0762

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
= -16.15%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0762) – 1
= 35.64%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y483)
= Exp(a + b × X483 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 701 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1759 + -0.0005 × 701 + 2 × 0.0762)
= Exp(3.9901)
= $54.06

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y483)
= Exp(a + b × X483 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 701 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1759 + -0.0005 × 701 – 2 × 0.0762)
= Exp(3.6853)
= $39.86

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,013)
= Exp(a + b × X1,013 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,469 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1759 + -0.0005 × 1,469 + 2 × 0.0762)
= Exp(3.6196)
= $37.32

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,013)
= Exp(a + b × X1,013 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,469 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1759 + -0.0005 × 1,469 – 2 × 0.0762)
= Exp(3.3148)
= $27.52
