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 SSTK 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: April 3, 2025
End date: October 14, 2025

a = -0.2919

b = 0.0019

s = 0.0436

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0019) – 1
= 97.67%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0436) – 1
= 19.06%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,120)
= Exp(a + b × X1,120 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,630 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-0.2919 + 0.0019 × 1,630 + 2 × 0.0436)
= Exp(2.8385)
= $17.09

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,120)
= Exp(a + b × X1,120 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,630 – 2 × s)
= Exp(-0.2919 + 0.0019 × 1,630 – 2 × 0.0436)
= Exp(2.6641)
= $14.35
