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 AON 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: April 4, 2023
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 6.1434

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0385

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -8.73%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0385) – 1
= 16.65%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y928)
= Exp(a + b × X928 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,345 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1434 + -0.0003 × 1,345 + 2 × 0.0385)
= Exp(5.8839)
= $359.22

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y928)
= Exp(a + b × X928 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,345 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.1434 + -0.0003 × 1,345 – 2 × 0.0385)
= Exp(5.7299)
= $307.95

= Exp(5.7643)
= $318.73

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,256)
= Exp(a + b × X1,256 – 2 × s)
