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 MPC 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 25, 2020
End date: April 26, 2024

a = 3.0115

b = 0.0012

s = 0.1162

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0012) – 1
= 57.81%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1162) – 1
= 59.15%

March 25, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y229)
= Exp(a + b × X229 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 331 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0115 + 0.0012 × 331 + 2 × 0.1162)
= Exp(3.6576)
= $38.77

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y229)
= Exp(a + b × X229 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 331 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0115 + 0.0012 × 331 – 2 × 0.1162)
= Exp(3.1929)
= $24.36

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0115 + 0.0012 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.1162)
= Exp(5.5236)
= $250.54

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0115 + 0.0012 × 1,824 – 2 × 0.1162)
= Exp(5.0589)
= $157.42
