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 AMZN 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: November 18, 2022
End date: September 20, 2023

a = 1.9349

b = 0.0017

s = 0.0528

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0017) – 1
= 88.27%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0528) – 1
= 23.51%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y994)
= Exp(a + b × X994 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,439 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9349 + 0.0017 × 1,439 + 2 × 0.0528)
= Exp(4.5348)
= $93.21

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y994)
= Exp(a + b × X994 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,439 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9349 + 0.0017 × 1,439 – 2 × 0.0528)
= Exp(4.3237)
= $75.46
