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: March 13, 2023
End date: August 15, 2025

a = 2.8374

b = 0.0006

s = 0.1039

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 26.42%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1039) – 1
= 51.51%

March 13, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y646)
= Exp(a + b × X646 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 938 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8374 + 0.0006 × 938 + 2 × 0.1039)
= Exp(3.6475)
= $38.38

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y646)
= Exp(a + b × X646 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 938 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8374 + 0.0006 × 938 – 2 × 0.1039)
= Exp(3.2320)
= $25.33

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.8374 + 0.0006 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.1039)
= Exp(4.2166)
= $67.80

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
