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 MRO 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 17, 2022
End date: November 20, 2024

a = 3.0687

b = 0.0001

s = 0.0912

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0001) – 1
= 4.50%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0912) – 1
= 44.02%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y564)
= Exp(a + b × X564 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 819 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0687 + 0.0001 × 819 + 2 × 0.0912)
= Exp(3.3499)
= $28.50

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y564)
= Exp(a + b × X564 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 819 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0687 + 0.0001 × 819 – 2 × 0.0912)
= Exp(2.9851)
= $19.79

= Exp(3.4714)
= $32.18

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
