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 LIN 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 11, 2024
End date: May 17, 2024

a = 8.9803

b = -0.0016

s = 0.0110

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0016) – 1
= -44.29%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0110) – 1
= 4.51%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,210)
= Exp(a + b × X1,210 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,757 + 2 × s)
= Exp(8.9803 + -0.0016 × 1,757 + 2 × 0.0110)
= Exp(6.1858)
= $485.83

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,210)
= Exp(a + b × X1,210 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,757 – 2 × s)
= Exp(8.9803 + -0.0016 × 1,757 – 2 × 0.0110)
= Exp(6.1418)
= $464.87

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(8.9803 + -0.0016 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.0110)
= Exp(6.0784)
= $436.35

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
= Exp(8.9803 + -0.0016 × 1,824 – 2 × 0.0110)
= Exp(6.0344)
= $417.53
