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 HXL 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: January 30, 2023
End date: November 19, 2024

a = 4.5104

b = -0.0002

s = 0.0547

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -7.05%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0547) – 1
= 24.48%

January 30, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y802)
= Exp(a + b × X802 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,167 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5104 + -0.0002 × 1,167 + 2 × 0.0547)
= Exp(4.3860)
= $80.32

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y802)
= Exp(a + b × X802 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,167 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5104 + -0.0002 × 1,167 – 2 × 0.0547)
= Exp(4.1671)
= $64.53

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5104 + -0.0002 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0547)
= Exp(4.2540)
= $70.39

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5104 + -0.0002 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0547)
= Exp(4.0350)
= $56.55

a = 5.1986

b = -0.0006

s = 0.0415

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0006) – 1
= -19.92%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0415) – 1
= 18.04%
