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 SYK 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: June 9, 2022
End date: July 21, 2023

a = 3.9219

b = 0.0012

s = 0.0424

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0012) – 1
= 53.53%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0424) – 1
= 18.50%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y780)
= Exp(a + b × X780 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,129 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9219 + 0.0012 × 1,129 + 2 × 0.0424)
= Exp(5.3329)
= $207.03

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y780)
= Exp(a + b × X780 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,129 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9219 + 0.0012 × 1,129 – 2 × 0.0424)
= Exp(5.1631)
= $174.71
