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 WPC 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 3, 2022
End date: August 20, 2024

a = 4.5394

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0720

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -11.20%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0720) – 1
= 33.35%

March 3, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y574)
= Exp(a + b × X574 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 834 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5394 + -0.0003 × 834 + 2 × 0.0720)
= Exp(4.4118)
= $82.42

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y574)
= Exp(a + b × X574 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 834 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5394 + -0.0003 × 834 – 2 × 0.0720)
= Exp(4.1239)
= $61.80

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,193)
= Exp(a + b × X1,193 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,735 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5394 + -0.0003 × 1,735 + 2 × 0.0720)
= Exp(4.1185)
= $61.46

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,193)
= Exp(a + b × X1,193 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,735 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5394 + -0.0003 × 1,735 – 2 × 0.0720)
= Exp(3.8306)
= $46.09
