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 OXY 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 3, 2022
End date: March 27, 2024

a = 4.2689

b = -0.0001

s = 0.0590

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0001) – 1
= -3.62%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0590) – 1
= 26.59%

May 3, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y760)
= Exp(a + b × X760 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,100 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2689 + -0.0001 × 1,100 + 2 × 0.0590)
= Exp(4.2757)
= $71.93

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y760)
= Exp(a + b × X760 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,100 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2689 + -0.0001 × 1,100 – 2 × 0.0590)
= Exp(4.0399)
= $56.82

March 27, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,794 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2689 + -0.0001 × 1,794 + 2 × 0.0590)
= Exp(4.2056)
= $67.06

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,794 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2689 + -0.0001 × 1,794 – 2 × 0.0590)
= Exp(3.9698)
= $52.97
