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 SR 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: January 11, 2024
End date: June 12, 2025

a = 3.0726

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0333

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 29.11%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0333) – 1
= 14.23%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y888)
= Exp(a + b × X888 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,289 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0726 + 0.0007 × 1,289 + 2 × 0.0333)
= Exp(4.0415)
= $56.91

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y888)
= Exp(a + b × X888 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,289 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0726 + 0.0007 × 1,289 – 2 × 0.0333)
= Exp(3.9085)
= $49.82

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,243)
= Exp(a + b × X1,243 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,807 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0726 + 0.0007 × 1,807 + 2 × 0.0333)
= Exp(4.4041)
= $81.79

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,243)
= Exp(a + b × X1,243 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,807 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0726 + 0.0007 × 1,807 – 2 × 0.0333)
= Exp(4.2711)
= $71.60

a = 4.9346

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0190

Annual growth rate:

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