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 HSTM 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 22, 2022
End date: April 26, 2023

a = 2.2038

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0472

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 31.42%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0472) – 1
= 20.77%

February 22, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y696)
= Exp(a + b × X696 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,009 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.2038 + 0.0007 × 1,009 + 2 × 0.0472)
= Exp(3.0534)
= $21.19

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y696)
= Exp(a + b × X696 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,009 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.2038 + 0.0007 × 1,009 – 2 × 0.0472)
= Exp(2.8647)
= $17.54

April 26, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y991)
= Exp(a + b × X991 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,437 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.2038 + 0.0007 × 1,437 + 2 × 0.0472)
= Exp(3.3738)
= $29.19

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y991)
= Exp(a + b × X991 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,437 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.2038 + 0.0007 × 1,437 – 2 × 0.0472)
= Exp(3.1850)
= $24.17

a = 2.9029

b = 0.0002

s = 0.0686

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
