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 ITW 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 20, 2024
End date: May 6, 2024

a = 9.7820

b = -0.0024

s = 0.0096

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0024) – 1
= -57.64%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0096) – 1
= 3.90%

March 20, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,224)
= Exp(a + b × X1,224 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,777 + 2 × s)
= Exp(9.7820 + -0.0024 × 1,777 + 2 × 0.0096)
= Exp(5.6195)
= $275.74

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,224)
= Exp(a + b × X1,224 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,777 – 2 × s)
= Exp(9.7820 + -0.0024 × 1,777 – 2 × 0.0096)
= Exp(5.5812)
= $265.39

May 6, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,256)
= Exp(a + b × X1,256 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(9.7820 + -0.0024 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.0096)
= Exp(5.5089)
= $246.87

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,256)
= Exp(a + b × X1,256 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
= Exp(9.7820 + -0.0024 × 1,824 – 2 × 0.0096)
= Exp(5.4706)
= $237.60
