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 WRLD 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 22, 2022
End date: December 12, 2025
a = 4.1856
b = 0.0005
s = 0.1564
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0005) – 1
= 19.78%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1564) – 1
= 86.96%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y446)
= Exp(a + b × X446 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 647 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1856 + 0.0005 × 647 + 2 × 0.1564)
= Exp(4.8184)
= $123.77
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y446)
= Exp(a + b × X446 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 647 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1856 + 0.0005 × 647 – 2 × 0.1564)
= Exp(4.1927)
= $66.20
