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 LANC 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: February 20, 2024
End date: November 1, 2024

a = 6.0617

b = -0.0005

s = 0.0310

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
= -16.50%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0310) – 1
= 13.21%

February 20, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,066)
= Exp(a + b × X1,066 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,552 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0617 + -0.0005 × 1,552 + 2 × 0.0310)
= Exp(5.3570)
= $212.10

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,066)
= Exp(a + b × X1,066 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,552 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0617 + -0.0005 × 1,552 – 2 × 0.0310)
= Exp(5.2330)
= $187.35

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,244)
= Exp(a + b × X1,244 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,807 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0617 + -0.0005 × 1,807 + 2 × 0.0310)
= Exp(5.2311)
= $186.99

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,244)
= Exp(a + b × X1,244 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,807 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0617 + -0.0005 × 1,807 – 2 × 0.0310)
= Exp(5.1070)
= $165.18

a = 3.2041

b = 0.0011

s = 0.0264

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0011) – 1
