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 WEX 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: May 17, 2024
a = 4.6701
b = 0.0004
s = 0.0797
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0004) – 1
= 16.52%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0797) – 1
= 37.56%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y489)
= Exp(a + b × X489 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 709 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6701 + 0.0004 × 709 + 2 × 0.0797)
= Exp(5.1265)
= $168.43
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y489)
= Exp(a + b × X489 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 709 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6701 + 0.0004 × 709 – 2 × 0.0797)
= Exp(4.8076)
= $122.44

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,129)
= Exp(a + b × X1,129 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,640 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6701 + 0.0004 × 1,640 + 2 × 0.0797)
= Exp(5.5165)
= $248.76
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,129)
= Exp(a + b × X1,129 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,640 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.6701 + 0.0004 × 1,640 – 2 × 0.0797)
= Exp(5.1976)
= $180.84
