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


Primary Trend

Start date: April 5, 2021
End date: December 12, 2023

a = 6.0224

b = -0.0007

s = 0.1120

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0007) – 1
= -23.84%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1120) – 1
= 56.52%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y487)
= Exp(a + b × X487 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 707 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0224 + -0.0007 × 707 + 2 × 0.1120)
= Exp(5.7189)
= $304.56

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y487)
= Exp(a + b × X487 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 707 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0224 + -0.0007 × 707 – 2 × 0.1120)
= Exp(5.2708)
= $194.58

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,165)
= Exp(a + b × X1,165 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,688 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0224 + -0.0007 × 1,688 + 2 × 0.1120)
= Exp(4.9868)
= $146.47

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,165)
= Exp(a + b × X1,165 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,688 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0224 + -0.0007 × 1,688 – 2 × 0.1120)
= Exp(4.5388)
= $93.58
