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 NOV 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: July 31, 2023
End date: August 20, 2025

a = 3.7515

b = -0.0007

s = 0.0644

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0007) – 1
= -21.73%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0644) – 1
= 29.38%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y738)
= Exp(a + b × X738 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,074 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.7515 + -0.0007 × 1,074 + 2 × 0.0644)
= Exp(3.1594)
= $23.56

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y738)
= Exp(a + b × X738 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,074 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.7515 + -0.0007 × 1,074 – 2 × 0.0644)
= Exp(2.9018)
= $18.21

= Exp(a + b × X1,254 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.7515 + -0.0007 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0644)
= Exp(2.6554)
= $14.23

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,254)
= Exp(a + b × X1,254 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
