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 CWT 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: July 16, 2021
End date: July 11, 2024

a = 4.2764

b = -0.0002

s = 0.0677

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -8.01%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0677) – 1
= 31.11%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y496)
= Exp(a + b × X496 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 718 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2764 + -0.0002 × 718 + 2 × 0.0677)
= Exp(4.2475)
= $69.93

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y496)
= Exp(a + b × X496 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 718 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2764 + -0.0002 × 718 – 2 × 0.0677)
= Exp(3.9766)
= $53.34

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,246)
= Exp(a + b × X1,246 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,809 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2764 + -0.0002 × 1,809 + 2 × 0.0677)
= Exp(3.9979)
= $54.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,246)
= Exp(a + b × X1,246 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,809 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2764 + -0.0002 × 1,809 – 2 × 0.0677)
= Exp(3.7270)
= $41.55
