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 XYL 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 7, 2023
End date: June 13, 2024

a = 1.7592

b = 0.0018

s = 0.0357

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0018) – 1
= 93.83%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0357) – 1
= 15.33%

September 7, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,035)
= Exp(a + b × X1,035 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,501 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7592 + 0.0018 × 1,501 + 2 × 0.0357)
= Exp(4.5521)
= $94.84

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,035)
= Exp(a + b × X1,035 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,501 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7592 + 0.0018 × 1,501 – 2 × 0.0357)
= Exp(4.4095)
= $82.23

June 13, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,228)
= Exp(a + b × X1,228 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,781 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7592 + 0.0018 × 1,781 + 2 × 0.0357)
= Exp(5.0598)
= $157.57

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,228)
= Exp(a + b × X1,228 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,781 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7592 + 0.0018 × 1,781 – 2 × 0.0357)
= Exp(4.9172)
= $136.62
