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 APD 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 9, 2020
End date: March 25, 2021

a = 6.2761

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0377

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -13.89%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0377) – 1
= 16.29%

July 9, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y984)
= Exp(a + b × X984 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,429 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2761 + -0.0004 × 1,429 + 2 × 0.0377)
= Exp(5.7660)
= $319.25

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y984)
= Exp(a + b × X984 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,429 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2761 + -0.0004 × 1,429 – 2 × 0.0377)
= Exp(5.6151)
= $274.53

March 25, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,163)
= Exp(a + b × X1,163 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,688 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2761 + -0.0004 × 1,688 + 2 × 0.0377)
= Exp(5.6598)
= $287.10

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,163)
= Exp(a + b × X1,163 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,688 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2761 + -0.0004 × 1,688 – 2 × 0.0377)
= Exp(5.5089)
= $246.89
