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 FCN 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: June 9, 2020
End date: July 28, 2022

a = 4.4432

b = 0.0006

s = 0.0626

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 26.59%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0626) – 1
= 28.47%

June 9, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y218)
= Exp(a + b × X218 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 316 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4432 + 0.0006 × 316 + 2 × 0.0626)
= Exp(4.7726)
= $118.23

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y218)
= Exp(a + b × X218 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 316 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4432 + 0.0006 × 316 – 2 × 0.0626)
= Exp(4.5221)
= $92.03

July 28, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y756)
= Exp(a + b × X756 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,095 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4432 + 0.0006 × 1,095 + 2 × 0.0626)
= Exp(5.2759)
= $195.56

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y756)
= Exp(a + b × X756 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,095 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4432 + 0.0006 × 1,095 – 2 × 0.0626)
= Exp(5.0254)
= $152.22
