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 ACLS 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: May 25, 2023
End date: June 4, 2024

a = 7.5893

b = -0.0017

s = 0.0786

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0017) – 1
= -45.87%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0786) – 1
= 36.93%

May 25, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y964)
= Exp(a + b × X964 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,396 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.5893 + -0.0017 × 1,396 + 2 × 0.0786)
= Exp(5.3986)
= $221.09

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y964)
= Exp(a + b × X964 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,396 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.5893 + -0.0017 × 1,396 – 2 × 0.0786)
= Exp(5.0843)
= $161.46

June 4, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,221)
= Exp(a + b × X1,221 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,772 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.5893 + -0.0017 × 1,772 + 2 × 0.0786)
= Exp(4.7662)
= $117.47

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,221)
= Exp(a + b × X1,221 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,772 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.5893 + -0.0017 × 1,772 – 2 × 0.0786)
= Exp(4.4519)
= $85.79

Description
