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 STRA 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: November 4, 2021
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 3.3505

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0979

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 30.63%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0979) – 1
= 47.94%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y575)
= Exp(a + b × X575 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 832 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3505 + 0.0007 × 832 + 2 × 0.0979)
= Exp(4.1554)
= $63.77

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y575)
= Exp(a + b × X575 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 832 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3505 + 0.0007 × 832 – 2 × 0.0979)
= Exp(3.7637)
= $43.11

= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3505 + 0.0007 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0979)
= Exp(4.8829)
= $132.02

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3505 + 0.0007 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0979)
= Exp(4.4913)
= $89.24

a = 2.0791

b = 0.0015

s = 0.0458

Annual growth rate:

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