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 RBC 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 9, 2023
End date: April 2, 2025

a = 4.5994

b = 0.0007

s = 0.0528

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0007) – 1
= 28.54%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0528) – 1
= 23.52%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y761)
= Exp(a + b × X761 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,104 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5994 + 0.0007 × 1,104 + 2 × 0.0528)
= Exp(5.4644)
= $236.13

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y761)
= Exp(a + b × X761 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,104 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5994 + 0.0007 × 1,104 – 2 × 0.0528)
= Exp(5.2532)
= $191.18

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,798 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5994 + 0.0007 × 1,798 + 2 × 0.0528)
= Exp(5.9418)
= $380.62

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,798 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5994 + 0.0007 × 1,798 – 2 × 0.0528)
= Exp(5.7306)
= $308.15

a = 9.9006

b = -0.0023

s = 0.0160

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0023) – 1
= -56.59%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
