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 MSA 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: April 26, 2022
End date: July 26, 2024

a = 4.0498

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0615

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 27.79%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0615) – 1
= 27.91%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y692)
= Exp(a + b × X692 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,002 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0498 + 0.0007 × 1,002 + 2 × 0.0615)
= Exp(4.8461)
= $127.24

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y692)
= Exp(a + b × X692 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,002 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0498 + 0.0007 × 1,002 – 2 × 0.0615)
= Exp(4.5999)
= $99.48
