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: June 7, 2023
End date: May 8, 2024

a = 8.0959

b = -0.0019

s = 0.0691

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0019) – 1
= -50.37%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0691) – 1
= 31.82%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,020)
= Exp(a + b × X1,020 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,479 + 2 × s)
= Exp(8.0959 + -0.0019 × 1,479 + 2 × 0.0691)
= Exp(5.3956)
= $220.44

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,020)
= Exp(a + b × X1,020 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,479 – 2 × s)
= Exp(8.0959 + -0.0019 × 1,479 – 2 × 0.0691)
= Exp(5.1193)
= $167.23

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,251)
= Exp(a + b × X1,251 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,815 + 2 × s)
= Exp(8.0959 + -0.0019 × 1,815 + 2 × 0.0691)
= Exp(4.7508)
= $115.67

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,251)
= Exp(a + b × X1,251 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,815 – 2 × s)
= Exp(8.0959 + -0.0019 × 1,815 – 2 × 0.0691)
= Exp(4.4745)
= $87.75
