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 AJG 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: April 8, 2021
End date: July 22, 2024

a = 4.5256

b = 0.0006

s = 0.0444

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 23.27%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0444) – 1
= 19.43%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y428)
= Exp(a + b × X428 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 622 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5256 + 0.0006 × 622 + 2 × 0.0444)
= Exp(4.9709)
= $144.16

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y428)
= Exp(a + b × X428 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 622 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5256 + 0.0006 × 622 – 2 × 0.0444)
= Exp(4.7934)
= $120.71

Exp(Y1,254)
= Exp(a + b × X1,254 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,823 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5256 + 0.0006 × 1,823 + 2 × 0.0444)
= Exp(5.6594)
= $286.98

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,254)
= Exp(a + b × X1,254 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,823 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5256 + 0.0006 × 1,823 – 2 × 0.0444)
= Exp(5.4818)
= $240.29
