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: May 6, 2022
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 3.6083

b = 0.0005

s = 0.0741

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0005) – 1
= 19.72%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0741) – 1
= 34.50%

May 6, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y701)
= Exp(a + b × X701 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,015 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6083 + 0.0005 × 1,015 + 2 × 0.0741)
= Exp(4.2569)
= $70.59

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y701)
= Exp(a + b × X701 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,015 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6083 + 0.0005 × 1,015 – 2 × 0.0741)
= Exp(3.9606)
= $52.49

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6083 + 0.0005 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0741)
= Exp(4.6568)
= $105.30

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6083 + 0.0005 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0741)
= Exp(4.3604)
= $78.29
