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 DRI 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: July 1, 2024
End date: March 31, 2025

a = 2.7156

b = 0.0014

s = 0.0337

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0014) – 1
= 68.30%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0337) – 1
= 14.42%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,068)
= Exp(a + b × X1,068 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,552 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7156 + 0.0014 × 1,552 + 2 × 0.0337)
= Exp(4.9964)
= $147.88

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,068)
= Exp(a + b × X1,068 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,552 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7156 + 0.0014 × 1,552 – 2 × 0.0337)
= Exp(4.8617)
= $129.24

= Exp(5.3857)
= $218.27

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
