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 WKC 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 12, 2023
End date: July 26, 2024

a = 1.3204

b = 0.0011

s = 0.0428

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0011) – 1
= 48.77%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0428) – 1
= 18.65%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,060)
= Exp(a + b × X1,060 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,536 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.3204 + 0.0011 × 1,536 + 2 × 0.0428)
= Exp(3.0775)
= $21.70

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,060)
= Exp(a + b × X1,060 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,536 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.3204 + 0.0011 × 1,536 – 2 × 0.0428)
= Exp(2.9065)
= $18.29

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.3204 + 0.0011 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.0428)
= Exp(3.3909)
= $29.69

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.3204 + 0.0011 × 1,824 – 2 × 0.0428)
= Exp(3.2199)
= $25.03
