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 WD 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 23, 2024
End date: April 28, 2025

a = 7.9071

b = -0.0020

s = 0.0410

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0020) – 1
= -50.99%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0410) – 1
= 17.80%

September 23, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,107)
= Exp(a + b × X1,107 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,608 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.9071 + -0.0020 × 1,608 + 2 × 0.0410)
= Exp(4.8476)
= $127.44

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,107)
= Exp(a + b × X1,107 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,608 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.9071 + -0.0020 × 1,608 – 2 × 0.0410)
= Exp(4.6838)
= $108.18

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.9071 + -0.0020 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0410)
= Exp(4.4237)
= $83.40

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.9071 + -0.0020 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0410)
= Exp(4.2599)
= $70.80
