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 WMB 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 16, 2024
End date: July 23, 2024

a = 0.9803

b = 0.0015

s = 0.0205

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0015) – 1
= 75.31%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0205) – 1
= 8.53%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,125)
= Exp(a + b × X1,125 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,635 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.9803 + 0.0015 × 1,635 + 2 × 0.0205)
= Exp(3.5360)
= $34.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,125)
= Exp(a + b × X1,125 – 2 × s)
