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 SMG 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: August 4, 2023
End date: June 28, 2024

a = 1.9595

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0752

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 59.99%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0752) – 1
= 35.08%

August 4, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,013)
= Exp(a + b × X1,013 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,470 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9595 + 0.0013 × 1,470 + 2 × 0.0752)
= Exp(4.0025)
= $54.73

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,013)
= Exp(a + b × X1,013 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,470 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9595 + 0.0013 × 1,470 – 2 × 0.0752)
= Exp(3.7017)
= $40.52

June 28, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,239)
= Exp(a + b × X1,239 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,799 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9595 + 0.0013 × 1,799 + 2 × 0.0752)
= Exp(4.4261)
= $83.60

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,239)
= Exp(a + b × X1,239 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,799 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9595 + 0.0013 × 1,799 – 2 × 0.0752)
= Exp(4.1253)
= $61.89

Secondary Trend

Start date: March 20, 2024
End date: July 15, 2024

a = 6.2014

b = -0.0011

s = 0.0273

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0011) – 1
= -33.84%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0273) – 1
= 11.54%

March 20, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,170)
= Exp(a + b × X1,170 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,699 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2014 + -0.0011 × 1,699 + 2 × 0.0273)
= Exp(4.3329)
= $76.17

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,170)

July 15, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,249)
= Exp(a + b × X1,249 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,816 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2014 + -0.0011 × 1,816 + 2 × 0.0273)
= Exp(4.2005)
= $66.72

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,249)
