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 WNC 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: February 1, 2024
End date: November 5, 2024

a = 6.0274

b = -0.0018

s = 0.0542

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0018) – 1
= -47.28%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0542) – 1
= 24.23%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,055)
= Exp(a + b × X1,055 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,534 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0274 + -0.0018 × 1,534 + 2 × 0.0542)
= Exp(3.4451)
= $31.35

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,055)
= Exp(a + b × X1,055 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,534 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0274 + -0.0018 × 1,534 – 2 × 0.0542)
= Exp(3.2281)
= $25.23

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,247)
= Exp(a + b × X1,247 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,812 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0274 + -0.0018 × 1,812 + 2 × 0.0542)
= Exp(2.9575)
= $19.25

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,247)
= Exp(a + b × X1,247 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,812 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.0274 + -0.0018 × 1,812 – 2 × 0.0542)
= Exp(2.7405)
= $15.49
