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 M 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: August 19, 2021
End date: November 30, 2023

a = 3.5921

b = -0.0008

s = 0.1454

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0008) – 1
= -25.72%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1454) – 1
= 78.86%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y330)
= Exp(a + b × X330 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 477 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5921 + -0.0008 × 477 + 2 × 0.1454)
= Exp(3.4943)
= $32.93

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y330)
= Exp(a + b × X330 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 477 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5921 + -0.0008 × 477 – 2 × 0.1454)
= Exp(2.9128)
= $18.41

November 30, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y904)
= Exp(a + b × X904 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,310 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5921 + -0.0008 × 1,310 + 2 × 0.1454)
= Exp(2.8157)
= $16.70

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y904)
= Exp(a + b × X904 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,310 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5921 + -0.0008 × 1,310 – 2 × 0.1454)
= Exp(2.2342)
= $9.34
