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 QNST 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: October 30, 2024
End date: February 18, 2026
a = 4.7420
b = -0.0012
s = 0.0866
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0012) – 1
= -35.67%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0866) – 1
= 41.40%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y930)
= Exp(a + b × X930 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,349 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7420 + -0.0012 × 1,349 + 2 × 0.0866)
= Exp(3.2847)
= $26.70
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y930)
= Exp(a + b × X930 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,349 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7420 + -0.0012 × 1,349 – 2 × 0.0866)
= Exp(2.9383)
= $18.88

= Exp(a + b × X1,254 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7420 + -0.0012 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0866)
= Exp(2.7094)
= $15.02
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,254)
= Exp(a + b × X1,254 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7420 + -0.0012 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0866)
= Exp(2.3630)
= $10.62
