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 MKSI 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: September 19, 2023
End date: July 17, 2024

a = 0.9001

b = 0.0023

s = 0.0990

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0023) – 1
= 128.30%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0990) – 1
= 48.58%

September 19, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,043)
= Exp(a + b × X1,043 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,513 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.9001 + 0.0023 × 1,513 + 2 × 0.0990)
= Exp(4.5199)
= $91.83

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,043)
= Exp(a + b × X1,043 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,513 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.9001 + 0.0023 × 1,513 – 2 × 0.0990)
= Exp(4.1240)
= $61.81

July 17, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,250)
= Exp(a + b × X1,250 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,815 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.9001 + 0.0023 × 1,815 + 2 × 0.0990)
= Exp(5.2030)
= $181.81

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,250)
= Exp(a + b × X1,250 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,815 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.9001 + 0.0023 × 1,815 – 2 × 0.0990)
= Exp(4.8070)
= $122.37
