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 GGG 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: October 8, 2020
End date: April 26, 2023

a = 4.2659

b = -0.0001

s = 0.0731

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0001) – 1
= -2.44%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0731) – 1
= 33.95%

October 8, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y222)
= Exp(a + b × X222 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 323 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2659 + -0.0001 × 323 + 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(4.3902)
= $80.65

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y222)
= Exp(a + b × X222 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 323 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2659 + -0.0001 × 323 – 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(4.0979)
= $60.21

April 26, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y862)
= Exp(a + b × X862 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,253 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2659 + -0.0001 × 1,253 + 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(4.3273)
= $75.74

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y862)
= Exp(a + b × X862 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,253 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2659 + -0.0001 × 1,253 – 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(4.0350)
= $56.55

a = 3.5583

b = 0.0006

s = 0.0559

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 23.41%
