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

Start date: February 27, 2025
End date: October 30, 2025

a = -0.4104

b = 0.0025

s = 0.0717

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0025) – 1
= 145.95%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0717) – 1
= 33.20%

Exp(Y989)
= Exp(a + b × X989 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,438 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-0.4104 + 0.0025 × 1,438 + 2 × 0.0717)
= Exp(3.2785)
= $26.54

Bottom border of price channel:
