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 HCA 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: March 11, 2020
End date: October 22, 2021

a = 2.5894

b = 0.0019

s = 0.0671

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0019) – 1
= 96.50%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0671) – 1
= 30.78%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y717)
= Exp(a + b × X717 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,042 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.5894 + 0.0019 × 1,042 + 2 × 0.0671)
= Exp(4.6519)
= $104.79

Bottom border of price channel:
