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 MEDP 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 9, 2023
End date: September 18, 2023

a = 1.7901

b = 0.0024

s = 0.0250

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0024) – 1
= 141.37%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0250) – 1
= 10.50%

March 9, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y966)
= Exp(a + b × X966 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,401 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7901 + 0.0024 × 1,401 + 2 × 0.0250)
= Exp(5.2222)
= $185.35

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y966)
= Exp(a + b × X966 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,401 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7901 + 0.0024 × 1,401 – 2 × 0.0250)
= Exp(5.1224)
= $167.74

September 18, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,098)
= Exp(a + b × X1,098 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,594 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7901 + 0.0024 × 1,594 + 2 × 0.0250)
= Exp(5.6882)
= $295.35

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,098)
= Exp(a + b × X1,098 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,594 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7901 + 0.0024 × 1,594 – 2 × 0.0250)
= Exp(5.5884)
= $267.30

a = 6.8227

b = -0.0005

s = 0.0208

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
