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 HWC 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: March 13, 2023
End date: January 16, 2026
a = 3.0027
b = 0.0006
s = 0.0735
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 26.63%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0735) – 1
= 34.16%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y540)
= Exp(a + b × X540 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 783 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0027 + 0.0006 × 783 + 2 × 0.0735)
= Exp(3.6560)
= $38.71
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y540)
= Exp(a + b × X540 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 783 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0027 + 0.0006 × 783 – 2 × 0.0735)
= Exp(3.3621)
= $28.85
