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 WAB 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 29, 2023
End date: May 9, 2024

a = 1.3724

b = 0.0020

s = 0.0264

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0020) – 1
= 109.74%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0264) – 1
= 11.14%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,105)
= Exp(a + b × X1,105 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,603 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.3724 + 0.0020 × 1,603 + 2 × 0.0264)
= Exp(4.6783)
= $107.59

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,105)
= Exp(a + b × X1,105 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,603 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.3724 + 0.0020 × 1,603 – 2 × 0.0264)
= Exp(4.5726)
= $96.80
