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 LQDT 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: December 14, 2020
End date: June 26, 2024

a = 3.0557

b = -0.0002

s = 0.1647

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -5.51%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1647) – 1
= 93.23%

December 14, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y350)
= Exp(a + b × X350 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 507 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0557 + -0.0002 × 507 + 2 × 0.1647)
= Exp(3.3063)
= $27.28

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y350)
= Exp(a + b × X350 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 507 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0557 + -0.0002 × 507 – 2 × 0.1647)
= Exp(2.6476)
= $14.12

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,797 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0557 + -0.0002 × 1,797 + 2 × 0.1647)
= Exp(3.1059)
= $22.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,797 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0557 + -0.0002 × 1,797 – 2 × 0.1647)
= Exp(2.4472)
= $11.56

a = 1.7592

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0845

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 28.63%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
