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 GGG 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: December 12, 2023
End date: December 31, 2025

a = 4.4377

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0403

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -0.34%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0403) – 1
= 17.50%

December 12, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y740)
= Exp(a + b × X740 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,072 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4377 + 0.0000 × 1,072 + 2 × 0.0403)
= Exp(4.5083)
= $90.77

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y740)
= Exp(a + b × X740 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,072 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4377 + 0.0000 × 1,072 – 2 × 0.0403)
= Exp(4.3470)
= $77.25

December 31, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,254)
= Exp(a + b × X1,254 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,822 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4377 + 0.0000 × 1,822 + 2 × 0.0403)
= Exp(4.5013)
= $90.13

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,254)
= Exp(a + b × X1,254 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,822 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4377 + 0.0000 × 1,822 – 2 × 0.0403)
= Exp(4.3400)
= $76.71
