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 MMS 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 15, 2024
End date: April 29, 2025

a = 6.5301

b = -0.0013

s = 0.0508

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0013) – 1
= -37.58%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0508) – 1
= 22.52%

July 15, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,057)
= Exp(a + b × X1,057 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,537 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5301 + -0.0013 × 1,537 + 2 × 0.0508)
= Exp(4.6472)
= $104.30

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,057)
= Exp(a + b × X1,057 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,537 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5301 + -0.0013 × 1,537 – 2 × 0.0508)
= Exp(4.4441)
= $85.12

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5301 + -0.0013 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0508)
= Exp(4.2754)
= $71.91

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5301 + -0.0013 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0508)
= Exp(4.0723)
= $58.69
