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 NEU 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: June 8, 2022
End date: April 24, 2024

a = 4.3085

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0534

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 61.08%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0534) – 1
= 23.81%

June 8, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y640)
= Exp(a + b × X640 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 930 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3085 + 0.0013 × 930 + 2 × 0.0534)
= Exp(5.6300)
= $278.67

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y640)
= Exp(a + b × X640 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 930 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3085 + 0.0013 × 930 – 2 × 0.0534)
= Exp(5.4164)
= $225.08

April 24, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,111)
= Exp(a + b × X1,111 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,616 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3085 + 0.0013 × 1,616 + 2 × 0.0534)
= Exp(6.5260)
= $682.69

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,111)
= Exp(a + b × X1,111 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,616 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3085 + 0.0013 × 1,616 – 2 × 0.0534)
= Exp(6.3125)
= $551.40

a = 6.7747

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0483

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1

= 21.30%

December 13, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,021)
= Exp(a + b × X1,021 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,483 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.7747 + -0.0003 × 1,483 + 2 × 0.0483)
= Exp(6.4659)
= $642.84

Bottom border of price channel:
