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 GMS 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: September 1, 2022
End date: September 1, 2023

a = 2.0226

b = 0.0015

s = 0.0571

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0015) – 1
= 74.78%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0571) – 1
= 25.68%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y781)
= Exp(a + b × X781 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,130 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0226 + 0.0015 × 1,130 + 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(3.8654)
= $47.72

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y781)
= Exp(a + b × X781 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,130 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0226 + 0.0015 × 1,130 – 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(3.6369)
= $37.97

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,032)
= Exp(a + b × X1,032 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,495 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0226 + 0.0015 × 1,495 + 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(4.4237)
= $83.41

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,032)
= Exp(a + b × X1,032 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,495 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0226 + 0.0015 × 1,495 – 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(4.1952)
= $66.37
