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 CTAS 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: August 4, 2023
End date: November 19, 2024

a = 2.9868

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0245

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 61.53%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0245) – 1
= 10.29%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y931)
= Exp(a + b × X931 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,353 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9868 + 0.0013 × 1,353 + 2 × 0.0245)
= Exp(4.8132)
= $123.12

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y931)
= Exp(a + b × X931 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,353 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9868 + 0.0013 × 1,353 – 2 × 0.0245)
= Exp(4.7153)
= $111.64
