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 SCI 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: July 29, 2021
End date: February 12, 2024

a = 4.1245

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0671

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= 0.77%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0671) – 1
= 30.76%

July 29, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y506)
= Exp(a + b × X506 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 734 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1245 + 0.0000 × 734 + 2 × 0.0671)
= Exp(4.2741)
= $71.81

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y506)
= Exp(a + b × X506 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 734 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1245 + 0.0000 × 734 – 2 × 0.0671)
= Exp(4.0058)
= $54.92

February 12, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,144)
= Exp(a + b × X1,144 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,662 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1245 + 0.0000 × 1,662 + 2 × 0.0671)
= Exp(4.2937)
= $73.23

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,144)
= Exp(a + b × X1,144 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,662 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1245 + 0.0000 × 1,662 – 2 × 0.0671)
= Exp(4.0254)
= $56.00

a = 1.7314

b = 0.0015

s = 0.0477

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0015) – 1
= 73.39%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1

= 21.02%

September 6, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,035)
= Exp(a + b × X1,035 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,503 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7314 + 0.0015 × 1,503 + 2 × 0.0477)
= Exp(4.0930)
= $59.92

Bottom border of price channel:

= $49.52

April 9, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,183)
= Exp(a + b × X1,183 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,719 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7314 + 0.0015 × 1,719 + 2 × 0.0477)
= Exp(4.4187)
= $82.99

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,183)
= Exp(a + b × X1,183 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,719 – 2 × s)
