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 DNOW 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: August 12, 2024
End date: April 29, 2025

a = 0.6962

b = 0.0011

s = 0.0670

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0011) – 1
= 52.03%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0670) – 1
= 30.74%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,077)
= Exp(a + b × X1,077 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,565 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.6962 + 0.0011 × 1,565 + 2 × 0.0670)
= Exp(2.6265)
= $13.83

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,077)
= Exp(a + b × X1,077 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,565 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.6962 + 0.0011 × 1,565 – 2 × 0.0670)
= Exp(2.3584)
= $10.57
