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 CAT 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: June 16, 2022
End date: November 19, 2024

a = 4.2939

b = 0.0009

s = 0.0828

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0009) – 1
= 39.70%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0828) – 1
= 39.27%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y647)
= Exp(a + b × X647 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 939 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2939 + 0.0009 × 939 + 2 × 0.0828)
= Exp(5.3196)
= $204.29

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y647)
= Exp(a + b × X647 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 939 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2939 + 0.0009 × 939 – 2 × 0.0828)
= Exp(4.9883)
= $146.69

= Exp(6.1320)
= $460.35

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
