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 PINC 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: November 1, 2021
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 4.3207

b = -0.0008

s = 0.0791

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0008) – 1
= -24.31%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0791) – 1
= 37.24%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y572)
= Exp(a + b × X572 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 829 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3207 + -0.0008 × 829 + 2 × 0.0791)
= Exp(3.8463)
= $46.82

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y572)
= Exp(a + b × X572 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 829 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3207 + -0.0008 × 829 – 2 × 0.0791)
= Exp(3.5298)
= $34.12

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3207 + -0.0008 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0791)
= Exp(3.0855)
= $21.88

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3207 + -0.0008 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0791)
= Exp(2.7689)
= $15.94
