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 FTV 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: March 4, 2022
End date: May 22, 2024

a = 3.6312

b = 0.0004

s = 0.0582

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0004) – 1
= 17.06%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0582) – 1
= 26.20%

March 4, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y657)
= Exp(a + b × X657 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 952 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6312 + 0.0004 × 952 + 2 × 0.0582)
= Exp(4.1583)
= $63.96

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y657)
= Exp(a + b × X657 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 952 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6312 + 0.0004 × 952 – 2 × 0.0582)
= Exp(3.9256)
= $50.68

May 22, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,214)
= Exp(a + b × X1,214 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,762 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6312 + 0.0004 × 1,762 + 2 × 0.0582)
= Exp(4.5079)
= $90.73

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,214)
= Exp(a + b × X1,214 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,762 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6312 + 0.0004 × 1,762 – 2 × 0.0582)
= Exp(4.2752)
= $71.89

a = 6.8654

b = -0.0014

s = 0.0223

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0014) – 1
= -40.81%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0223) – 1
= 9.33%

February 14, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,146)
= Exp(a + b × X1,146 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,664 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.8654 + -0.0014 × 1,664 + 2 × 0.0223)
= Exp(4.5189)
= $91.73

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,146)
= Exp(a + b × X1,146 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,664 – 2 × s)
