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 RMD 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: June 17, 2021
End date: April 25, 2024

a = 5.9287

b = -0.0004

s = 0.1028

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -15.07%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1028) – 1
= 50.89%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y531)
= Exp(a + b × X531 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 770 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9287 + -0.0004 × 770 + 2 × 0.1028)
= Exp(5.7898)
= $326.96

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y531)
= Exp(a + b × X531 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 770 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9287 + -0.0004 × 770 – 2 × 0.1028)
= Exp(5.3785)
= $216.69

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,249)
= Exp(a + b × X1,249 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,813 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9287 + -0.0004 × 1,813 + 2 × 0.1028)
= Exp(5.3232)
= $205.03

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,249)
= Exp(a + b × X1,249 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,813 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9287 + -0.0004 × 1,813 – 2 × 0.1028)
= Exp(4.9118)
= $135.88
