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 DCI 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 1, 2024
End date: March 31, 2025

a = 4.4547

b = -0.0001

s = 0.0301

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0001) – 1
= -4.03%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0301) – 1
= 12.80%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y985)
= Exp(a + b × X985 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,430 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4547 + -0.0001 × 1,430 + 2 × 0.0301)
= Exp(4.3537)
= $77.76

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y985)
= Exp(a + b × X985 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,430 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4547 + -0.0001 × 1,430 – 2 × 0.0301)
= Exp(4.2332)
= $68.94

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4547 + -0.0001 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0301)
= Exp(4.3091)
= $74.37

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4547 + -0.0001 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0301)
= Exp(4.1887)
= $65.94
