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 KFY 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, 2021
End date: December 6, 2023

a = 4.4886

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0858

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -13.71%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0858) – 1
= 40.95%

February 22, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y396)
= Exp(a + b × X396 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 577 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4886 + -0.0004 × 577 + 2 × 0.0858)
= Exp(4.4270)
= $83.68

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y396)
= Exp(a + b × X396 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 577 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4886 + -0.0004 × 577 – 2 × 0.0858)
= Exp(4.0838)
= $59.37

December 6, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,099)
= Exp(a + b × X1,099 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,594 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4886 + -0.0004 × 1,594 + 2 × 0.0858)
= Exp(4.0161)
= $55.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,099)
= Exp(a + b × X1,099 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,594 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4886 + -0.0004 × 1,594 – 2 × 0.0858)
= Exp(3.6729)
= $39.37

a = 1.8302

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0454

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 62.75%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1

= 19.93%

September 5, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,034)
= Exp(a + b × X1,034 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,502 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.8302 + 0.0013 × 1,502 + 2 × 0.0454)
= Exp(3.9254)
= $50.67

Bottom border of price channel:

= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.8302 + 0.0013 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0454)
= Exp(4.3577)
= $78.08

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
