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 GM 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: January 13, 2021
End date: December 13, 2023

a = 4.4947

b = -0.0007

s = 0.1158

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0007) – 1
= -21.29%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1158) – 1
= 58.95%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y432)
= Exp(a + b × X432 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 625 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4947 + -0.0007 × 625 + 2 × 0.1158)
= Exp(4.3164)
= $74.92

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y432)
= Exp(a + b × X432 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 625 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4947 + -0.0007 × 625 – 2 × 0.1158)
= Exp(3.8530)
= $47.14

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,166)
= Exp(a + b × X1,166 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,689 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4947 + -0.0007 × 1,689 + 2 × 0.1158)
= Exp(3.6186)
= $37.28

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,166)
= Exp(a + b × X1,166 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,689 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4947 + -0.0007 × 1,689 – 2 × 0.1158)
= Exp(3.1552)
= $23.46
