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 WDFC 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: July 8, 2022
End date: December 19, 2024

a = 4.5476

b = 0.0006

s = 0.0780

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 25.42%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0780) – 1
= 36.61%

July 8, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y569)
= Exp(a + b × X569 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5476 + 0.0006 × 826 + 2 × 0.0780)
= Exp(5.2162)
= $184.23

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y569)
= Exp(a + b × X569 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5476 + 0.0006 × 826 – 2 × 0.0780)
= Exp(4.9042)
= $134.86

December 19, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,186)
= Exp(a + b × X1,186 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,721 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5476 + 0.0006 × 1,721 + 2 × 0.0780)
= Exp(5.7716)
= $321.05

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,186)
= Exp(a + b × X1,186 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,721 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5476 + 0.0006 × 1,721 – 2 × 0.0780)
= Exp(5.4596)
= $235.01

a = 5.4239

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0661

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
