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 DRI 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 1, 2024
End date: April 3, 2025

a = 2.7433

b = 0.0014

s = 0.0335

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0014) – 1
= 68.49%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0335) – 1
= 14.36%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,049)
= Exp(a + b × X1,049 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,524 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7433 + 0.0014 × 1,524 + 2 × 0.0335)
= Exp(4.9886)
= $146.73

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,049)
= Exp(a + b × X1,049 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,524 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7433 + 0.0014 × 1,524 – 2 × 0.0335)
= Exp(4.8544)
= $128.31

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,239)
= Exp(a + b × X1,239 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,800 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7433 + 0.0014 × 1,800 + 2 × 0.0335)
= Exp(5.3831)
= $217.69

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,239)
= Exp(a + b × X1,239 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,800 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7433 + 0.0014 × 1,800 – 2 × 0.0335)
= Exp(5.2489)
= $190.36
