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 PSMT 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 12, 2022
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 3.6609

b = 0.0004

s = 0.0560

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0004) – 1
= 16.48%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0560) – 1
= 25.09%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y745)
= Exp(a + b × X745 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,082 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6609 + 0.0004 × 1,082 + 2 × 0.0560)
= Exp(4.2250)
= $68.37

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y745)
= Exp(a + b × X745 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,082 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6609 + 0.0004 × 1,082 – 2 × 0.0560)
= Exp(4.0011)
= $54.66

= Exp(4.5358)
= $93.30

Bottom border of price channel:

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