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 MATX 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: November 28, 2022
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 2.3236

b = 0.0014

s = 0.0696

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0014) – 1
= 67.12%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0696) – 1
= 32.11%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y842)
= Exp(a + b × X842 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,221 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.3236 + 0.0014 × 1,221 + 2 × 0.0696)
= Exp(4.1808)
= $65.42

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y842)
= Exp(a + b × X842 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,221 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.3236 + 0.0014 × 1,221 – 2 × 0.0696)
= Exp(3.9023)
= $49.52
