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: July 25, 2024

a = 6.2214

b = -0.0001

s = 0.0514

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0001) – 1
= -2.39%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0514) – 1
= 22.85%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y713)
= Exp(a + b × X713 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,033 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2214 + -0.0001 × 1,033 + 2 × 0.0514)
= Exp(6.2559)
= $521.07

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y713)
= Exp(a + b × X713 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,033 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2214 + -0.0001 × 1,033 – 2 × 0.0514)
= Exp(6.0501)
= $424.15

= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2214 + -0.0001 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0514)
= Exp(6.2034)
= $494.40

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
