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 STC 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: March 2, 2023
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 1.9138

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0707

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 58.80%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0707) – 1
= 32.68%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y906)
= Exp(a + b × X906 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,315 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9138 + 0.0013 × 1,315 + 2 × 0.0707)
= Exp(3.7213)
= $41.32

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y906)
= Exp(a + b × X906 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,315 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9138 + 0.0013 × 1,315 – 2 × 0.0707)
= Exp(3.4385)
= $31.14

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9138 + 0.0013 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0707)
= Exp(4.3687)
= $78.94

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9138 + 0.0013 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0707)
= Exp(4.0859)
= $59.50
