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 DHR 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: June 22, 2021
End date: December 12, 2023

a = 5.8218

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0600

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -10.20%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0600) – 1
= 27.15%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y539)
= Exp(a + b × X539 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 782 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.8218 + -0.0003 × 782 + 2 × 0.0600)
= Exp(5.7115)
= $302.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y539)
= Exp(a + b × X539 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 782 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.8218 + -0.0003 × 782 – 2 × 0.0600)
= Exp(5.4713)
= $237.78

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,162)
= Exp(a + b × X1,162 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,685 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.8218 + -0.0003 × 1,685 + 2 × 0.0600)
= Exp(5.4455)
= $231.71

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,162)
= Exp(a + b × X1,162 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,685 – 2 × s)
