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: March 13, 2023
End date: May 8, 2024

a = 1.5560

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0744

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 30.14%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0744) – 1
= 34.66%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y582)
= Exp(a + b × X582 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 847 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.5560 + 0.0007 × 847 + 2 × 0.0744)
= Exp(2.3162)
= $10.14

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y582)
= Exp(a + b × X582 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 847 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.5560 + 0.0007 × 847 – 2 × 0.0744)
= Exp(2.0186)
= $7.53

Exp(Y873)
= Exp(a + b × X873 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,269 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.5560 + 0.0007 × 1,269 + 2 × 0.0744)
= Exp(2.6208)
= $13.75

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y873)
= Exp(a + b × X873 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,269 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.5560 + 0.0007 × 1,269 – 2 × 0.0744)
= Exp(2.3232)
= $10.21
