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 NOC 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 24, 2022
End date: April 24, 2024

a = 6.2339

b = -0.0001

s = 0.0527

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0001) – 1
= -2.46%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0527) – 1
= 23.46%

May 24, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y775)
= Exp(a + b × X775 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,121 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2339 + -0.0001 × 1,121 + 2 × 0.0527)
= Exp(6.2630)
= $524.77

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y775)
= Exp(a + b × X775 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,121 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2339 + -0.0001 × 1,121 – 2 × 0.0527)
= Exp(6.0522)
= $425.05

April 24, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,256)
= Exp(a + b × X1,256 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,822 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2339 + -0.0001 × 1,822 + 2 × 0.0527)
= Exp(6.2152)
= $500.30

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,256)
= Exp(a + b × X1,256 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,822 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2339 + -0.0001 × 1,822 – 2 × 0.0527)
= Exp(6.0044)
= $405.23
