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 GD 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: February 6, 2025
End date: November 19, 2025

a = 3.5107

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0233

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 60.41%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0233) – 1
= 9.76%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,052)
= Exp(a + b × X1,052 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,532 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5107 + 0.0013 × 1,532 + 2 × 0.0233)
= Exp(5.5407)
= $254.87

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,052)
= Exp(a + b × X1,052 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,532 – 2 × s)

= Exp(5.9110)
= $369.09

Bottom border of price channel:
