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 MMSI 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 20, 2020
End date: June 27, 2024

a = 3.9379

b = 0.0002

s = 0.0910

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
= 8.82%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0910) – 1
= 43.89%

November 20, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y334)
= Exp(a + b × X334 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 480 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9379 + 0.0002 × 480 + 2 × 0.0910)
= Exp(4.2311)
= $68.79

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y334)
= Exp(a + b × X334 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 480 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9379 + 0.0002 × 480 – 2 × 0.0910)
= Exp(3.8672)
= $47.81

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,795 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9379 + 0.0002 × 1,795 + 2 × 0.0910)
= Exp(4.5357)
= $93.29

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,795 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9379 + 0.0002 × 1,795 – 2 × 0.0910)
= Exp(4.1719)
= $64.84
