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 WOR 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: September 23, 2022
End date: May 17, 2024

a = -0.1000

b = 0.0023

s = 0.2054

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0023) – 1
= 130.01%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.2054) – 1
= 127.40%

September 23, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y844)
= Exp(a + b × X844 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,222 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-0.1000 + 0.0023 × 1,222 + 2 × 0.2054)
= Exp(3.0994)
= $22.19

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y844)
= Exp(a + b × X844 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,222 – 2 × s)
= Exp(-0.1000 + 0.0023 × 1,222 – 2 × 0.2054)
= Exp(2.2779)
= $9.76

= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-0.1000 + 0.0023 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.2054)
= Exp(4.4732)
= $87.64

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
