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 WERN 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 18, 2023
End date: July 24, 2024

a = 4.4255

b = -0.0005

s = 0.0434

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
= -15.69%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0434) – 1
= 18.97%

January 18, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y876)
= Exp(a + b × X876 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,272 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4255 + -0.0005 × 1,272 + 2 × 0.0434)
= Exp(3.9176)
= $50.28

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y876)
= Exp(a + b × X876 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,272 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4255 + -0.0005 × 1,272 – 2 × 0.0434)
= Exp(3.7439)
= $42.26

July 24, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,256)
= Exp(a + b × X1,256 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4255 + -0.0005 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0434)
= Exp(3.6590)
= $38.82

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,256)
= Exp(a + b × X1,256 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4255 + -0.0005 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0434)
= Exp(3.4853)
= $32.63
