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 FE 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: August 15, 2023
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 2.8637

b = 0.0004

s = 0.0234

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0004) – 1
= 17.75%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0234) – 1
= 9.80%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,020)
= Exp(a + b × X1,020 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,481 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8637 + 0.0004 × 1,481 + 2 × 0.0234)
= Exp(3.5735)
= $35.64

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,020)
= Exp(a + b × X1,020 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,481 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8637 + 0.0004 × 1,481 – 2 × 0.0234)
= Exp(3.4800)
= $32.46

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8637 + 0.0004 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0234)
= Exp(3.7279)
= $41.59

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8637 + 0.0004 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0234)
= Exp(3.6345)
= $37.88
