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 GPC 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 21, 2022
End date: November 20, 2024

a = 5.4621

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0600

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -11.16%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0600) – 1
= 27.10%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y734)
= Exp(a + b × X734 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,065 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4621 + -0.0003 × 1,065 + 2 × 0.0600)
= Exp(5.2367)
= $188.05

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y734)
= Exp(a + b × X734 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,065 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4621 + -0.0003 × 1,065 – 2 × 0.0600)
= Exp(4.9969)
= $147.96

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4621 + -0.0003 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0600)
= Exp(4.9900)
= $146.93

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4621 + -0.0003 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0600)
= Exp(4.7502)
= $115.60

a = 6.3377

b = -0.0008

s = 0.0478

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0008) – 1
= -25.94%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0478) – 1
= 21.08%

March 11, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,080)
= Exp(a + b × X1,080 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,572 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.3377 + -0.0008 × 1,572 + 2 × 0.0478)
= Exp(5.1403)
= $170.76

Bottom border of price channel:
