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 SYF 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 13, 2023
End date: March 3, 2025

a = 1.8340

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0892

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 62.23%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0892) – 1
= 42.89%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y721)
= Exp(a + b × X721 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,047 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.8340 + 0.0013 × 1,047 + 2 × 0.0892)
= Exp(3.4005)
= $29.98

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y721)
= Exp(a + b × X721 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,047 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.8340 + 0.0013 × 1,047 – 2 × 0.0892)
= Exp(3.0435)
= $20.98

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,215)
= Exp(a + b × X1,215 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,768 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.8340 + 0.0013 × 1,768 + 2 × 0.0892)
= Exp(4.3563)
= $77.96

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,215)
= Exp(a + b × X1,215 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,768 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.8340 + 0.0013 × 1,768 – 2 × 0.0892)
= Exp(3.9993)
