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: January 21, 2025
End date: April 21, 2025

a = 10.6765

b = -0.0042

s = 0.0378

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0042) – 1
= -78.05%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0378) – 1
= 16.31%

January 21, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,188)
= Exp(a + b × X1,188 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,728 + 2 × s)
= Exp(10.6765 + -0.0042 × 1,728 + 2 × 0.0378)
= Exp(3.5722)
= $35.59

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,188)
= Exp(a + b × X1,188 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,728 – 2 × s)
= Exp(10.6765 + -0.0042 × 1,728 – 2 × 0.0378)
= Exp(3.4211)
= $30.60

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,250)
= Exp(a + b × X1,250 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,818 + 2 × s)
= Exp(10.6765 + -0.0042 × 1,818 + 2 × 0.0378)
= Exp(3.1982)
= $24.49

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,250)
= Exp(a + b × X1,250 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,818 – 2 × s)
= Exp(10.6765 + -0.0042 × 1,818 – 2 × 0.0378)
= Exp(3.0471)
= $21.05
