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 JBHT 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: July 18, 2023
End date: July 11, 2025

a = 5.7311

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0803

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -13.69%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0803) – 1
= 37.87%

July 18, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y758)
= Exp(a + b × X758 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,100 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7311 + -0.0004 × 1,100 + 2 × 0.0803)
= Exp(5.4481)
= $232.32

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y758)
= Exp(a + b × X758 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,100 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7311 + -0.0004 × 1,100 – 2 × 0.0803)
= Exp(5.1270)
= $168.50

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7311 + -0.0004 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.0803)
= Exp(5.1562)
= $173.50

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7311 + -0.0004 × 1,824 – 2 × 0.0803)
= Exp(4.8350)
= $125.84
