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 PXD 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: January 31, 2022
End date: March 12, 2024

a = 5.1736

b = 0.0001

s = 0.0722

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0001) – 1
= 5.07%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0722) – 1
= 33.51%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y696)
= Exp(a + b × X696 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,008 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1736 + 0.0001 × 1,008 + 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(5.4547)
= $233.85

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y696)
= Exp(a + b × X696 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,008 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1736 + 0.0001 × 1,008 – 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(5.1657)
= $175.16

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,226)
= Exp(a + b × X1,226 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,779 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1736 + 0.0001 × 1,779 + 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(5.5591)
= $259.60

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,226)
= Exp(a + b × X1,226 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,779 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1736 + 0.0001 × 1,779 – 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(5.2701)
= $194.44
