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 OMI 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: February 24, 2021
End date: February 8, 2024

a = 4.5302

b = -0.0010

s = 0.2101

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0010) – 1
= -31.77%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.2101) – 1
= 131.74%

February 24, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y445)
= Exp(a + b × X445 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 646 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5302 + -0.0010 × 646 + 2 × 0.2101)
= Exp(4.2738)
= $71.79

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y445)
= Exp(a + b × X445 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 646 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5302 + -0.0010 × 646 – 2 × 0.2101)
= Exp(3.4333)
= $30.98

February 8, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,189)
= Exp(a + b × X1,189 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,725 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5302 + -0.0010 × 1,725 + 2 × 0.2101)
= Exp(3.1436)
= $23.19

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,189)
= Exp(a + b × X1,189 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,725 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5302 + -0.0010 × 1,725 – 2 × 0.2101)
= Exp(2.3031)
= $10.01

a = 1.1104

b = 0.0011

s = 0.1308

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0011) – 1
= 51.67%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1308) – 1
= 68.72%

February 28, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y951)
= Exp(a + b × X951 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,380 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.1104 + 0.0011 × 1,380 + 2 × 0.1308)
= Exp(2.9468)
= $19.04

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y951)
= Exp(a + b × X951 – 2 × s)
