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 MO 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: January 18, 2024
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 1.5193

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0231

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 60.09%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0231) – 1
= 9.68%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,127)
= Exp(a + b × X1,127 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,637 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.5193 + 0.0013 × 1,637 + 2 × 0.0231)
= Exp(3.6759)
= $39.49

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,127)
= Exp(a + b × X1,127 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,637 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.5193 + 0.0013 × 1,637 – 2 × 0.0231)
= Exp(3.5835)
= $36.00

= Exp(3.9196)
= $50.38

Bottom border of price channel:
