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 CNP 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 4, 2022
End date: November 7, 2024

a = 3.3506

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0472

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -0.31%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0472) – 1
= 20.80%

March 4, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y574)
= Exp(a + b × X574 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 834 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3506 + 0.0000 × 834 + 2 × 0.0472)
= Exp(3.4381)
= $31.13

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y574)
= Exp(a + b × X574 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 834 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3506 + 0.0000 × 834 – 2 × 0.0472)
= Exp(3.2491)
= $25.77

November 7, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,248)
= Exp(a + b × X1,248 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,813 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3506 + 0.0000 × 1,813 + 2 × 0.0472)
= Exp(3.4299)
= $30.87

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,248)
= Exp(a + b × X1,248 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,813 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3506 + 0.0000 × 1,813 – 2 × 0.0472)
= Exp(3.2409)
= $25.56
