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 AMAT 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: August 30, 2022
End date: April 26, 2024

a = 2.7804

b = 0.0014

s = 0.0758

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0014) – 1
= 65.15%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0758) – 1
= 35.43%

August 30, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y842)
= Exp(a + b × X842 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,219 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7804 + 0.0014 × 1,219 + 2 × 0.0758)
= Exp(4.6075)
= $100.24

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y842)
= Exp(a + b × X842 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,219 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7804 + 0.0014 × 1,219 – 2 × 0.0758)
= Exp(4.3042)
= $74.01
