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 MMSI 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 14, 2023
End date: February 25, 2025

a = 3.0289

b = 0.0009

s = 0.0453

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0009) – 1
= 39.97%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0453) – 1
= 19.85%

August 14, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y847)
= Exp(a + b × X847 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,230 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0289 + 0.0009 × 1,230 + 2 × 0.0453)
= Exp(4.2526)
= $70.29

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y847)
= Exp(a + b × X847 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,230 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0289 + 0.0009 × 1,230 – 2 × 0.0453)
= Exp(4.0715)
= $58.64

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,231)
= Exp(a + b × X1,231 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,791 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0289 + 0.0009 × 1,791 + 2 × 0.0453)
= Exp(4.7694)
= $117.85

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,231)
= Exp(a + b × X1,231 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,791 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0289 + 0.0009 × 1,791 – 2 × 0.0453)
= Exp(4.5883)
= $98.33
