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 EFC 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: April 5, 2021
End date: June 5, 2023

a = 2.7815

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0617

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -11.04%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0617) – 1
= 27.97%

April 5, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y425)
= Exp(a + b × X425 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 619 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7815 + -0.0003 × 619 + 2 × 0.0617)
= Exp(2.7063)
= $14.97

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y425)
= Exp(a + b × X425 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 619 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7815 + -0.0003 × 619 – 2 × 0.0617)
= Exp(2.4597)
= $11.70

June 5, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y971)
= Exp(a + b × X971 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,410 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7815 + -0.0003 × 1,410 + 2 × 0.0617)
= Exp(2.4527)
= $11.62

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y971)
= Exp(a + b × X971 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,410 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7815 + -0.0003 × 1,410 – 2 × 0.0617)
= Exp(2.2061)
= $9.08
