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 MTCH 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

Start date: October 2, 2023
End date: February 18, 2026
a = 3.5339
b = 0.0000
s = 0.0783
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -1.27%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0783) – 1
= 36.76%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y658)
= Exp(a + b × X658 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 955 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5339 + 0.0000 × 955 + 2 × 0.0783)
= Exp(3.6568)
= $38.74
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y658)
= Exp(a + b × X658 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 955 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5339 + 0.0000 × 955 – 2 × 0.0783)
= Exp(3.3438)
= $28.33

= Exp(3.6263)
= $37.57
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,254)
