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 TTGT 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: August 27, 2021
End date: November 30, 2023

a = 6.1302

b = -0.0017

s = 0.1025

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0017) – 1
= -46.76%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1025) – 1
= 50.71%

August 27, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y582)
= Exp(a + b × X582 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 842 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1302 + -0.0017 × 842 + 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(4.8811)
= $131.78

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y582)
= Exp(a + b × X582 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 842 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1302 + -0.0017 × 842 – 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(4.4709)
= $87.44

November 30, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,150)
= Exp(a + b × X1,150 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,667 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1302 + -0.0017 × 1,667 + 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(3.4563)
= $31.70

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,150)
= Exp(a + b × X1,150 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,667 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1302 + -0.0017 × 1,667 – 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(3.0461)
= $21.03

Secondary Trend

Start date: March 9, 2023
End date: May 7, 2024

a = 3.9021

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0894

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -9.73%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0894) – 1
= 43.01%

March 9, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y966)
= Exp(a + b × X966 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,401 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9021 + -0.0003 × 1,401 + 2 × 0.0894)
= Exp(3.6881)
= $39.97

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y966)
= Exp(a + b × X966 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,401 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9021 + -0.0003 × 1,401 – 2 × 0.0894)
= Exp(3.3304)
= $27.95

May 7, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9021 + -0.0003 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0894)
= Exp(3.5690)
= $35.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9021 + -0.0003 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0894)
