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 ECL 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: September 22, 2022
End date: July 26, 2024

a = 3.9570

b = 0.0008

s = 0.0506

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0008) – 1
= 35.49%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0506) – 1
= 22.46%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y795)
= Exp(a + b × X795 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,151 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9570 + 0.0008 × 1,151 + 2 × 0.0506)
= Exp(5.0160)
= $150.81

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y795)
= Exp(a + b × X795 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,151 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9570 + 0.0008 × 1,151 – 2 × 0.0506)
= Exp(4.8134)
= $123.15

= Exp(5.5760)
= $264.01

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
