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 LECO 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: December 14, 2023
End date: March 31, 2025

a = 5.9642

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0806

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -13.67%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0806) – 1
= 38.04%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y933)
= Exp(a + b × X933 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,352 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9642 + -0.0004 × 1,352 + 2 × 0.0806)
= Exp(5.5809)
= $265.31

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y933)
= Exp(a + b × X933 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,352 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9642 + -0.0004 × 1,352 – 2 × 0.0806)
= Exp(5.2585)
= $192.20

March 31, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9642 + -0.0004 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0806)
= Exp(5.3904)
= $219.29

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9642 + -0.0004 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.0806)
= Exp(5.0680)
= $158.86
