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 HRB 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 16, 2024
End date: December 2, 2024
a = 5.7875
b = -0.0009
s = 0.0181
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0009) – 1
= -29.05%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0181) – 1
= 7.49%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,183)
= Exp(a + b × X1,183 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,718 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7875 + -0.0009 × 1,718 + 2 × 0.0181)
= Exp(4.2085)
= $67.26
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,183)
= Exp(a + b × X1,183 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,718 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7875 + -0.0009 × 1,718 – 2 × 0.0181)
= Exp(4.1363)
= $62.57

= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7875 + -0.0009 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0181)
= Exp(4.1070)
= $60.76
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7875 + -0.0009 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0181)
= Exp(4.0348)
= $56.53
