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 PRGS 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 26, 2024
End date: April 22, 2025

a = 6.2347

b = -0.0012

s = 0.0483

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0012) – 1
= -36.29%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0483) – 1
= 21.34%

September 26, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,109)
= Exp(a + b × X1,109 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,610 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2347 + -0.0012 × 1,610 + 2 × 0.0483)
= Exp(4.3425)
= $76.90

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,109)
= Exp(a + b × X1,109 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,610 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2347 + -0.0012 × 1,610 – 2 × 0.0483)
= Exp(4.1491)
= $63.38

April 22, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,250)
= Exp(a + b × X1,250 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,818 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2347 + -0.0012 × 1,818 + 2 × 0.0483)
= Exp(4.0856)
= $59.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,250)
= Exp(a + b × X1,250 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,818 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2347 + -0.0012 × 1,818 – 2 × 0.0483)
= Exp(3.8922)
= $49.02

a = 3.7788

b = 0.0001

s = 0.0310

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0001) – 1
= 5.25%

Price channel spread:
