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 VIRT 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: September 13, 2023
End date: April 29, 2025

a = 0.5243

b = 0.0018

s = 0.0867

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0018) – 1
= 90.38%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0867) – 1
= 41.46%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y848)
= Exp(a + b × X848 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,231 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.5243 + 0.0018 × 1,231 + 2 × 0.0867)
= Exp(2.8693)
= $17.62

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y848)
= Exp(a + b × X848 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,231 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.5243 + 0.0018 × 1,231 – 2 × 0.0867)
= Exp(2.5224)
= $12.46

= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.5243 + 0.0018 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0867)
= Exp(3.9171)
= $50.26

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.5243 + 0.0018 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0867)
= Exp(3.5703)
= $35.53
