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 FMC 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: October 25, 2022
End date: March 5, 2024
a = 7.5445
b = -0.0022
s = 0.1178
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0022) – 1
= -54.39%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1178) – 1
= 60.16%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y819)
= Exp(a + b × X819 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,187 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.5445 + -0.0022 × 1,187 + 2 × 0.1178)
= Exp(5.2267)
= $186.18
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y819)
= Exp(a + b × X819 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,187 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.5445 + -0.0022 × 1,187 – 2 × 0.1178)
= Exp(4.7557)
= $116.24

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,159)
= Exp(a + b × X1,159 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,684 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.5445 + -0.0022 × 1,684 + 2 × 0.1178)
= Exp(4.1576)
= $63.92
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,159)
= Exp(a + b × X1,159 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,684 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.5445 + -0.0022 × 1,684 – 2 × 0.1178)
= Exp(3.6866)
= $39.91
