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 28, 2022
End date: May 16, 2024

a = 4.7099

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0725

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -13.05%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0725) – 1
= 33.65%

March 28, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y720)
= Exp(a + b × X720 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,043 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7099 + -0.0004 × 1,043 + 2 × 0.0725)
= Exp(4.4555)
= $86.10

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y720)
= Exp(a + b × X720 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,043 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7099 + -0.0004 × 1,043 – 2 × 0.0725)
= Exp(4.1654)
= $64.42

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,823 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7099 + -0.0004 × 1,823 + 2 × 0.0725)
= Exp(4.1568)
= $63.87

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,823 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7099 + -0.0004 × 1,823 – 2 × 0.0725)
= Exp(3.8667)
= $47.78
