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 CLX 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: February 2, 2024
End date: July 9, 2024

a = 6.8912

b = -0.0011

s = 0.0237

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0011) – 1
= -33.50%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0237) – 1
= 9.93%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,137)
= Exp(a + b × X1,137 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,649 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.8912 + -0.0011 × 1,649 + 2 × 0.0237)
= Exp(5.0956)
= $163.30

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,137)
= Exp(a + b × X1,137 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,649 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.8912 + -0.0011 × 1,649 – 2 × 0.0237)
= Exp(5.0009)
= $148.54

July 9, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,244)
= Exp(a + b × X1,244 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,807 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.8912 + -0.0011 × 1,807 + 2 × 0.0237)
= Exp(4.9190)
= $136.86

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,244)
= Exp(a + b × X1,244 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,807 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.8912 + -0.0011 × 1,807 – 2 × 0.0237)
= Exp(4.8243)
= $124.50
