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 HUM 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

Start date: October 16, 2023
End date: April 17, 2024

a = 11.3009

b = -0.0030

s = 0.0446

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0030) – 1
= -67.09%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0446) – 1
= 19.54%
