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 ASGN 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: March 10, 2021
End date: November 13, 2023

a = 5.0304

b = -0.0004

s = 0.1073

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -14.86%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1073) – 1
= 53.62%

March 10, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y408)
= Exp(a + b × X408 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 593 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.0304 + -0.0004 × 593 + 2 × 0.1073)
= Exp(4.9837)
= $146.01

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y408)
= Exp(a + b × X408 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 593 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.0304 + -0.0004 × 593 – 2 × 0.1073)
= Exp(4.5544)
= $95.05

November 13, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,083)
= Exp(a + b × X1,083 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,571 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.0304 + -0.0004 × 1,571 + 2 × 0.1073)
= Exp(4.5525)
= $94.87

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,083)
= Exp(a + b × X1,083 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,571 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.0304 + -0.0004 × 1,571 – 2 × 0.1073)
= Exp(4.1232)
= $61.76

Description

s = 0.0372

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0012) – 1
= 55.05%

Price channel spread:
