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 VTRS 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: February 28, 2022
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 2.1251

b = 0.0002

s = 0.0906

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
= 7.31%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0906) – 1
= 43.66%

February 28, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y322)
= Exp(a + b × X322 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 469 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1251 + 0.0002 × 469 + 2 × 0.0906)
= Exp(2.3970)
= $10.99

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y322)
= Exp(a + b × X322 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 469 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1251 + 0.0002 × 469 – 2 × 0.0906)
= Exp(2.0347)
= $7.65

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y926)
= Exp(a + b × X926 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,347 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1251 + 0.0002 × 1,347 + 2 × 0.0906)
= Exp(2.5668)
= $13.02

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y926)
= Exp(a + b × X926 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,347 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.1251 + 0.0002 × 1,347 – 2 × 0.0906)
= Exp(2.2045)
= $9.07

a = 3.6131

b = -0.0009

s = 0.0451

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0009) – 1
= -29.01%
