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 SXT 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: May 14, 2021
End date: February 28, 2024

a = 4.7937

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0722

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -13.60%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0722) – 1
= 33.50%

May 14, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y508)
= Exp(a + b × X508 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 736 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7937 + -0.0004 × 736 + 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(4.6434)
= $103.89

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y508)
= Exp(a + b × X508 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 736 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7937 + -0.0004 × 736 – 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(4.3544)
= $77.82

February 28, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,209)
= Exp(a + b × X1,209 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,756 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7937 + -0.0004 × 1,756 + 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(4.2349)
= $69.05

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,209)
= Exp(a + b × X1,209 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,756 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7937 + -0.0004 × 1,756 – 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(3.9459)
= $51.72

a = 1.9846

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0333

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
