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 SWX 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: March 1, 2023
End date: November 19, 2024

a = 3.3216

b = 0.0006

s = 0.0598

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 22.27%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0598) – 1
= 27.03%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y823)
= Exp(a + b × X823 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,197 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3216 + 0.0006 × 1,197 + 2 × 0.0598)
= Exp(4.1006)
= $60.38

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y823)
= Exp(a + b × X823 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,197 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3216 + 0.0006 × 1,197 – 2 × 0.0598)
= Exp(3.8613)
= $47.53

= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3216 + 0.0006 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0598)
= Exp(4.4471)
= $85.38

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.3216 + 0.0006 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0598)
= Exp(4.2078)
= $67.21
