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 GPI 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: November 6, 2024
End date: December 26, 2025
a = 6.0932
b = 0.0000
s = 0.0599
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -0.86%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0599) – 1
= 27.08%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y970)
= Exp(a + b × X970 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,408 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0932 + 0.0000 × 1,408 + 2 × 0.0599)
= Exp(6.1797)
= $482.84
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y970)
= Exp(a + b × X970 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,408 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0932 + 0.0000 × 1,408 – 2 × 0.0599)
= Exp(5.9400)
= $379.94
