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 SMP 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: March 28, 2025
End date: August 25, 2025

a = -2.3916

b = 0.0033

s = 0.0574

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0033) – 1
= 233.60%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0574) – 1
= 25.80%

March 28, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,152)
= Exp(a + b × X1,152 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,675 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-2.3916 + 0.0033 × 1,675 + 2 × 0.0574)
= Exp(3.2519)
= $25.84

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,152)
= Exp(a + b × X1,152 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,675 – 2 × s)
= Exp(-2.3916 + 0.0033 × 1,675 – 2 × 0.0574)
= Exp(3.0224)
= $20.54

= Exp(-2.3916 + 0.0033 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0574)
= Exp(3.7470)
= $42.39

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,254)
= Exp(a + b × X1,254 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
