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 WEN 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

End date: September 12, 2024
a = 3.4612
b = -0.0004
s = 0.0368
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -12.56%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0368) – 1
= 15.84%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y757)
= Exp(a + b × X757 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,098 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4612 + -0.0004 × 1,098 + 2 × 0.0368)
= Exp(3.1310)
= $22.90
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y757)
= Exp(a + b × X757 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,098 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4612 + -0.0004 × 1,098 – 2 × 0.0368)
= Exp(2.9840)
= $19.77

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,208)
= Exp(a + b × X1,208 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,757 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4612 + -0.0004 × 1,757 + 2 × 0.0368)
= Exp(2.8887)
= $17.97
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,208)
= Exp(a + b × X1,208 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,757 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4612 + -0.0004 × 1,757 – 2 × 0.0368)
= Exp(2.7417)
= $15.51
