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 NGVT 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 3, 2022
End date: February 7, 2024

a = 6.6747

b = -0.0017

s = 0.1102

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0017) – 1
= -47.05%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1102) – 1
= 55.39%

November 3, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y880)
= Exp(a + b × X880 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,274 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.6747 + -0.0017 × 1,274 + 2 × 0.1102)
= Exp(4.6757)
= $107.30

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y880)
= Exp(a + b × X880 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,274 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.6747 + -0.0017 × 1,274 – 2 × 0.1102)
= Exp(4.2349)
= $69.05

February 7, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,195)
= Exp(a + b × X1,195 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,735 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.6747 + -0.0017 × 1,735 + 2 × 0.1102)
= Exp(3.8726)
= $48.07

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,195)
= Exp(a + b × X1,195 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,735 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.6747 + -0.0017 × 1,735 – 2 × 0.1102)
= Exp(3.4318)
= $30.93
