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 GPN 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 2, 2022
End date: April 30, 2024

a = 3.8652

b = 0.0006

s = 0.0632

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 22.58%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0632) – 1
= 28.76%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y879)
= Exp(a + b × X879 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,273 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8652 + 0.0006 × 1,273 + 2 × 0.0632)
= Exp(4.7016)
= $110.13

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y879)
= Exp(a + b × X879 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,273 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8652 + 0.0006 × 1,273 – 2 × 0.0632)
= Exp(4.4488)
= $85.53

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,252)
= Exp(a + b × X1,252 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,818 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8652 + 0.0006 × 1,818 + 2 × 0.0632)
= Exp(5.0056)
= $149.25

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,252)
= Exp(a + b × X1,252 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,818 – 2 × s)
