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 MCK 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 15, 2022
End date: October 21, 2025
a = 5.3545
b = 0.0007
s = 0.0588
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 29.18%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0588) – 1
= 26.52%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y333)
= Exp(a + b × X333 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 484 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.3545 + 0.0007 × 484 + 2 × 0.0588)
= Exp(5.8116)
= $334.16
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y333)
= Exp(a + b × X333 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 484 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.3545 + 0.0007 × 484 – 2 × 0.0588)
= Exp(5.5764)
= $264.12

= Exp(6.7348)
= $841.16
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,800 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.3545 + 0.0007 × 1,800 – 2 × 0.0588)
= Exp(6.4996)
