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 STLD 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 21, 2022
End date: February 21, 2024

a = 4.3274

b = 0.0002

s = 0.0769

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
= 8.72%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0769) – 1
= 36.03%

October 21, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y863)
= Exp(a + b × X863 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,249 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3274 + 0.0002 × 1,249 + 2 × 0.0769)
= Exp(4.7673)
= $117.60

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y863)
= Exp(a + b × X863 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,249 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3274 + 0.0002 × 1,249 – 2 × 0.0769)
= Exp(4.4595)
= $86.45

February 21, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,196)
= Exp(a + b × X1,196 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,737 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3274 + 0.0002 × 1,737 + 2 × 0.0769)
= Exp(4.8790)
= $131.50

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,196)
= Exp(a + b × X1,196 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,737 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3274 + 0.0002 × 1,737 – 2 × 0.0769)
= Exp(4.5713)
= $96.67

a = 3.0134

b = 0.0010

s = 0.0500

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0010) – 1
= 46.64%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0500) – 1
= 22.14%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y996)
= Exp(a + b × X996 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,444 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0134 + 0.0010 × 1,444 + 2 × 0.0500)
= Exp(4.6280)
= $102.31

Bottom border of price channel:
