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 CAG 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: October 27, 2022
End date: March 18, 2024

a = 4.4005

b = -0.0007

s = 0.0571

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0007) – 1
= -21.55%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0571) – 1
= 25.64%

October 27, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y821)
= Exp(a + b × X821 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,189 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4005 + -0.0007 × 1,189 + 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(3.7242)
= $41.44

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y821)
= Exp(a + b × X821 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,189 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4005 + -0.0007 × 1,189 – 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(3.4959)
= $32.98

March 18, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,168)
= Exp(a + b × X1,168 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,697 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4005 + -0.0007 × 1,697 + 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(3.3864)
= $29.56

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,168)
= Exp(a + b × X1,168 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,697 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4005 + -0.0007 × 1,697 – 2 × 0.0571)
= Exp(3.1582)
= $23.53

Description
