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 WPC 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: March 25, 2022
End date: July 11, 2024

a = 4.6497

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0707

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -12.57%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0707) – 1
= 32.70%

March 25, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y672)
= Exp(a + b × X672 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 973 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6497 + -0.0004 × 973 + 2 × 0.0707)
= Exp(4.4331)
= $84.19

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y672)
= Exp(a + b × X672 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 973 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6497 + -0.0004 × 973 – 2 × 0.0707)
= Exp(4.1501)
= $63.44

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,247)
= Exp(a + b × X1,247 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,812 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6497 + -0.0004 × 1,812 + 2 × 0.0707)
= Exp(4.1243)
= $61.83

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,247)
= Exp(a + b × X1,247 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,812 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6497 + -0.0004 × 1,812 – 2 × 0.0707)
= Exp(3.8414)
= $46.59
