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 ACN 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

a = 5.7716

b = -0.0001

s = 0.0959

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0001) – 1
= -2.49%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0959) – 1
= 46.76%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y484)
= Exp(a + b × X484 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 701 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7716 + -0.0001 × 701 + 2 × 0.0959)
= Exp(5.9149)
= $370.53

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y484)
= Exp(a + b × X484 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 701 – 2 × s)
