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 APA 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 1, 2022
End date: May 8, 2024

a = 3.8997

b = -0.0002

s = 0.1140

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -7.23%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1140) – 1
= 57.78%

March 1, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y708)
= Exp(a + b × X708 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,027 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8997 + -0.0002 × 1,027 + 2 × 0.1140)
= Exp(3.9165)
= $50.22

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y708)
= Exp(a + b × X708 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,027 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8997 + -0.0002 × 1,027 – 2 × 0.1140)
= Exp(3.4605)
= $31.83

May 8, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8997 + -0.0002 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.1140)
= Exp(3.7521)
= $42.61

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8997 + -0.0002 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.1140)
= Exp(3.2961)
= $27.01
