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 PRDO 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: February 3, 2022
End date: April 28, 2025

a = 1.6531

b = 0.0009

s = 0.0982

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0009) – 1
= 38.93%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0982) – 1
= 48.09%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y446)
= Exp(a + b × X446 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 645 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.6531 + 0.0009 × 645 + 2 × 0.0982)
= Exp(2.4305)
= $11.36

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y446)
= Exp(a + b × X446 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 645 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.6531 + 0.0009 × 645 – 2 × 0.0982)
= Exp(2.0378)
= $7.67

= Exp(1.6531 + 0.0009 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0982)
= Exp(3.4935)
= $32.90

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.6531 + 0.0009 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0982)
= Exp(3.1008)
= $22.22
