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 LIN 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: June 28, 2022
End date: April 25, 2024

a = 4.8051

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0418

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 30.06%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0418) – 1
= 18.18%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y799)
= Exp(a + b × X799 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,159 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8051 + 0.0007 × 1,159 + 2 × 0.0418)
= Exp(5.7232)
= $305.88

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y799)
= Exp(a + b × X799 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,159 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8051 + 0.0007 × 1,159 – 2 × 0.0418)
= Exp(5.5561)
= $258.82

= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8051 + 0.0007 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0418)
= Exp(6.2034)
= $494.45

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8051 + 0.0007 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0418)
= Exp(6.0364)
= $418.38

a = 8.8975

b = -0.0015

s = 0.0070

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0015) – 1
