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 VAL 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: October 21, 2022
End date: May 17, 2024

a = 4.1043

b = 0.0001

s = 0.0783

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0001) – 1
= 4.85%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0783) – 1
= 36.76%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y372)
= Exp(a + b × X372 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 536 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1043 + 0.0001 × 536 + 2 × 0.0783)
= Exp(4.3303)
= $75.96

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y372)
= Exp(a + b × X372 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 536 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1043 + 0.0001 × 536 – 2 × 0.0783)
= Exp(4.0172)
= $55.55

Exp(Y766)
= Exp(a + b × X766 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,110 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1043 + 0.0001 × 1,110 + 2 × 0.0783)
= Exp(4.4047)
= $81.83

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y766)
= Exp(a + b × X766 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,110 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1043 + 0.0001 × 1,110 – 2 × 0.0783)
= Exp(4.0916)
= $59.84

a = -7.1848

b = 0.0104

s = 0.0220

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0104) – 1
