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 AA 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: September 10, 2021
End date: April 1, 2024

a = 4.9390

b = -0.0010

s = 0.1857

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0010) – 1
= -29.75%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1857) – 1
= 110.19%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y536)
= Exp(a + b × X536 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 777 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9390 + -0.0010 × 777 + 2 × 0.1857)
= Exp(4.5588)
= $95.47

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y536)
= Exp(a + b × X536 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 777 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9390 + -0.0010 × 777 – 2 × 0.1857)
= Exp(3.8160)
= $45.42

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,177)
= Exp(a + b × X1,177 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,711 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9390 + -0.0010 × 1,711 + 2 × 0.1857)
= Exp(3.6553)
= $38.68

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,177)
= Exp(a + b × X1,177 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,711 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9390 + -0.0010 × 1,711 – 2 × 0.1857)
= Exp(2.9125)
= $18.40
