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 1, 2021

a = 4.3188

b = 0.0023

s = 0.0176

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0023) – 1
= 129.21%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0176) – 1
= 7.29%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y264)
= Exp(a + b × X264 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 381 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3188 + 0.0023 × 381 + 2 × 0.0176)
= Exp(5.2197)
= $184.89

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y264)
= Exp(a + b × X264 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 381 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3188 + 0.0023 × 381 – 2 × 0.0176)
= Exp(5.1494)
= $172.33

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y358)
= Exp(a + b × X358 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 518 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3188 + 0.0023 × 518 + 2 × 0.0176)
= Exp(5.5311)
= $252.41

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y358)
= Exp(a + b × X358 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 518 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3188 + 0.0023 × 518 – 2 × 0.0176)
= Exp(5.4607)
