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 SFM 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: October 31, 2023
End date: July 25, 2024

a = -0.8845

b = 0.0029

s = 0.0436

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0029) – 1
= 192.64%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0436) – 1
= 19.04%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,074)
= Exp(a + b × X1,074 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,558 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-0.8845 + 0.0029 × 1,558 + 2 × 0.0436)
= Exp(3.7861)
= $44.08

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,074)
= Exp(a + b × X1,074 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,558 – 2 × s)
= Exp(-0.8845 + 0.0029 × 1,558 – 2 × 0.0436)
= Exp(3.6118)
= $37.03

= Exp(4.5745)
= $96.98

Bottom border of price channel:

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