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 VIR 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: January 26, 2021
End date: May 8, 2024

a = 4.7838

b = -0.0015

s = 0.2319

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0015) – 1
= -42.32%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.2319) – 1
= 152.82%

January 26, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y324)
= Exp(a + b × X324 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 473 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7838 + -0.0015 × 473 + 2 × 0.2319)
= Exp(4.5344)
= $93.17

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y324)
= Exp(a + b × X324 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 473 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7838 + -0.0015 × 473 – 2 × 0.2319)
= Exp(3.6069)
= $36.85

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,150)
= Exp(a + b × X1,150 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,671 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7838 + -0.0015 × 1,671 + 2 × 0.2319)
= Exp(2.7283)
= $15.31

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,150)
= Exp(a + b × X1,150 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,671 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7838 + -0.0015 × 1,671 – 2 × 0.2319)
= Exp(1.8008)
= $6.05

a = 1.7607

b = 0.0003

s = 0.0914

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0003) – 1
= 12.18%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
