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 VGR 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: December 29, 2022
End date: May 10, 2024

a = 2.8194

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0560

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -9.34%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0560) – 1
= 25.10%

December 29, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y916)
= Exp(a + b × X916 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,326 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8194 + -0.0003 × 1,326 + 2 × 0.0560)
= Exp(2.5753)
= $13.14

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y916)
= Exp(a + b × X916 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,326 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8194 + -0.0003 × 1,326 – 2 × 0.0560)
= Exp(2.3514)
= $10.50

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8194 + -0.0003 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.0560)
= Exp(2.4416)
= $11.49

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8194 + -0.0003 × 1,824 – 2 × 0.0560)
= Exp(2.2176)
= $9.19
