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 21, 2022
End date: July 15, 2024

a = 2.6474

b = -0.0002

s = 0.0571

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -6.24%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0571) – 1
= 25.65%

December 21, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y859)
= Exp(a + b × X859 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,244 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.6474 + -0.0002 × 1,244 + 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(2.5420)
= $12.70

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y859)
= Exp(a + b × X859 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,244 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.6474 + -0.0002 × 1,244 – 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(2.3136)
= $10.11

July 15, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,249)
= Exp(a + b × X1,249 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,816 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.6474 + -0.0002 × 1,816 + 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(2.4410)
= $11.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,249)
= Exp(a + b × X1,249 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,816 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.6474 + -0.0002 × 1,816 – 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(2.2127)
= $9.14

Description
