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 GM 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 10, 2023
End date: January 27, 2025

a = 1.9179

b = 0.0012

s = 0.0778

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0012) – 1
= 56.07%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0778) – 1
= 36.51%

August 10, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y833)
= Exp(a + b × X833 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,207 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9179 + 0.0012 × 1,207 + 2 × 0.0778)
= Exp(3.5454)
= $34.65

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y833)
= Exp(a + b × X833 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,207 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9179 + 0.0012 × 1,207 – 2 × 0.0778)
= Exp(3.2342)
= $25.39

January 27, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,199)
= Exp(a + b × X1,199 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,743 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9179 + 0.0012 × 1,743 + 2 × 0.0778)
= Exp(4.1991)
= $66.63

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,199)
= Exp(a + b × X1,199 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,743 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9179 + 0.0012 × 1,743 – 2 × 0.0778)
= Exp(3.8879)
= $48.81
