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 24, 2023

a = 2.7596

b = 0.0015

s = 0.1084

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0015) – 1
= 73.29%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1084) – 1
= 54.30%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y215)
= Exp(a + b × X215 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 313 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7596 + 0.0015 × 313 + 2 × 0.1084)
= Exp(3.4479)
= $31.43

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y215)
= Exp(a + b × X215 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 313 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7596 + 0.0015 × 313 – 2 × 0.1084)
= Exp(3.0142)
= $20.37

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y990)
= Exp(a + b × X990 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,438 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7596 + 0.0015 × 1,438 + 2 × 0.1084)
= Exp(5.1424)
= $171.12

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y990)
= Exp(a + b × X990 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,438 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7596 + 0.0015 × 1,438 – 2 × 0.1084)
= Exp(4.7087)
= $110.91
