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 JBHT 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: March 26, 2021
End date: November 19, 2024

a = 5.1361

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0770

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= 1.11%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0770) – 1
= 36.05%

March 26, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y338)
= Exp(a + b × X338 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 492 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1361 + 0.0000 × 492 + 2 × 0.0770)
= Exp(5.3050)
= $201.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y338)
= Exp(a + b × X338 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 492 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1361 + 0.0000 × 492 – 2 × 0.0770)
= Exp(4.9971)
= $147.99

= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1361 + 0.0000 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0770)
= Exp(5.3454)
= $209.64

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.1361 + 0.0000 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0770)
= Exp(5.0376)
= $154.10
