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 FE 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, 2023
End date: October 30, 2024

a = 2.5526

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0290

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 27.80%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0290) – 1
= 12.29%

September 22, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y975)
= Exp(a + b × X975 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,416 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.5526 + 0.0007 × 1,416 + 2 × 0.0290)
= Exp(3.5621)
= $35.24

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y975)
= Exp(a + b × X975 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,416 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.5526 + 0.0007 × 1,416 – 2 × 0.0290)
= Exp(3.4462)
= $31.38

October 30, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,253)
= Exp(a + b × X1,253 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,820 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.5526 + 0.0007 × 1,820 + 2 × 0.0290)
= Exp(3.8336)
= $46.23

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,253)
= Exp(a + b × X1,253 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,820 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.5526 + 0.0007 × 1,820 – 2 × 0.0290)
= Exp(3.7176)
= $41.17

a = 4.9581

b = -0.0007

s = 0.0139

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0007) – 1
= -21.42%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0139) – 1
= 5.72%

August 30, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,211)
= Exp(a + b × X1,211 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,759 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9581 + -0.0007 × 1,759 + 2 × 0.0139)
