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 GBX 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: October 25, 2023
End date: March 11, 2024

a = -1.4883

b = 0.0031

s = 0.0330

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0031) – 1
= 210.37%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0330) – 1
= 14.11%

October 25, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,117)
= Exp(a + b × X1,117 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,619 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-1.4883 + 0.0031 × 1,619 + 2 × 0.0330)
= Exp(3.6014)
= $36.65

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,117)
= Exp(a + b × X1,117 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,619 – 2 × s)
= Exp(-1.4883 + 0.0031 × 1,619 – 2 × 0.0330)
= Exp(3.4695)
= $32.12

March 11, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,210)
= Exp(a + b × X1,210 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,757 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-1.4883 + 0.0031 × 1,757 + 2 × 0.0330)
= Exp(4.0296)
= $56.24

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,210)
= Exp(a + b × X1,210 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,757 – 2 × s)
= Exp(-1.4883 + 0.0031 × 1,757 – 2 × 0.0330)
= Exp(3.8977)
= $49.29
