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 SW 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 25, 2025

a = 4.7649

b = -0.0037

s = 0.0448

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0037) – 1
= -74.09%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0448) – 1
= 19.61%

January 21, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y135)
= Exp(a + b × X135 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 197 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7649 + -0.0037 × 197 + 2 × 0.0448)
= Exp(4.1254)
= $61.90

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y135)
= Exp(a + b × X135 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 197 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7649 + -0.0037 × 197 – 2 × 0.0448)
= Exp(3.9464)
= $51.75

April 25, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y201)
= Exp(a + b × X201 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 291 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7649 + -0.0037 × 291 + 2 × 0.0448)
= Exp(3.7776)
= $43.71

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y201)
= Exp(a + b × X201 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 291 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7649 + -0.0037 × 291 – 2 × 0.0448)
= Exp(3.5986)
= $36.55

a = 2.9845

b = 0.0026

s = 0.0097

Annual growth rate:
