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 AXP 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 24, 2023
End date: March 3, 2025

a = 3.5926

b = 0.0012

s = 0.0720

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0012) – 1
= 56.62%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0720) – 1
= 33.37%

April 24, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y750)
= Exp(a + b × X750 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,089 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5926 + 0.0012 × 1,089 + 2 × 0.0720)
= Exp(5.0751)
= $159.99

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y750)
= Exp(a + b × X750 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,089 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5926 + 0.0012 × 1,089 – 2 × 0.0720)
= Exp(4.7872)
= $119.96

March 3, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,215)
= Exp(a + b × X1,215 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,768 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5926 + 0.0012 × 1,768 + 2 × 0.0720)
= Exp(5.9097)
= $368.59

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,215)
= Exp(a + b × X1,215 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,768 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5926 + 0.0012 × 1,768 – 2 × 0.0720)
= Exp(5.6218)
= $276.37
