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 PODD 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: November 4, 2022
End date: June 4, 2024

a = 7.4181

b = -0.0013

s = 0.1572

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0013) – 1
= -38.71%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1572) – 1
= 87.54%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y827)
= Exp(a + b × X827 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,197 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.4181 + -0.0013 × 1,197 + 2 × 0.1572)
= Exp(6.1271)
= $458.11

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y827)
= Exp(a + b × X827 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,197 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.4181 + -0.0013 × 1,197 – 2 × 0.1572)
= Exp(5.4983)
= $244.28

= Exp(a + b × 1,775 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.4181 + -0.0013 × 1,775 + 2 × 0.1572)
= Exp(5.3519)
= $211.01

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,222)
= Exp(a + b × X1,222 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,775 – 2 × s)
