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 DDOG 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: October 7, 2022
End date: February 13, 2025
a = 3.9477
b = 0.0009
s = 0.1154
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0009) – 1
= 36.38%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1154) – 1
= 58.64%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y265)
= Exp(a + b × X265 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 382 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9477 + 0.0009 × 382 + 2 × 0.1154)
= Exp(4.5032)
= $90.31
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y265)
= Exp(a + b × X265 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 382 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9477 + 0.0009 × 382 – 2 × 0.1154)
= Exp(4.0417)
= $56.93

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y854)
= Exp(a + b × X854 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,242 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9477 + 0.0009 × 1,242 + 2 × 0.1154)
= Exp(5.2343)
= $187.60
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y854)
= Exp(a + b × X854 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,242 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9477 + 0.0009 × 1,242 – 2 × 0.1154)
= Exp(4.7728)
= $118.25

a = -2.9394
b = 0.0048
s = 0.1574
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0048) – 1
= 474.89%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,081)
= Exp(a + b × X1,081 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,572 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-2.9394 + 0.0048 × 1,572 + 2 × 0.1574)
= Exp(4.9082)
= $135.39
Bottom border of price channel:
