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 TGT 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

a = 4.3562
b = 0.0023
s = 0.0176
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0023) – 1
= 129.84%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0176) – 1
= 7.29%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y251)
= Exp(a + b × X251 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 367 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3562 + 0.0023 × 367 + 2 × 0.0176)
= Exp(5.2282)
= $186.46
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y251)
= Exp(a + b × X251 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 367 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3562 + 0.0023 × 367 – 2 × 0.0176)
= Exp(5.1578)
= $173.78
