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 KALU 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: June 16, 2022
End date: October 20, 2025

a = 4.1031

b = 0.0001

s = 0.1292

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0001) – 1
= 4.30%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1292) – 1
= 67.66%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y416)
= Exp(a + b × X416 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 603 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1031 + 0.0001 × 603 + 2 × 0.1292)
= Exp(4.4310)
= $84.02

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y416)
= Exp(a + b × X416 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 603 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1031 + 0.0001 × 603 – 2 × 0.1292)
= Exp(3.9142)
= $50.11

= Exp(a + b × X1,254 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1031 + 0.0001 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.1292)
= Exp(4.5718)
= $96.72

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,254)
= Exp(a + b × X1,254 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1031 + 0.0001 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.1292)
= Exp(4.0550)
= $57.69
