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: September 6, 2023
End date: June 4, 2024

a = 1.7278

b = 0.0021

s = 0.0469

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0021) – 1
= 118.74%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0469) – 1
= 20.64%

September 6, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,035)
= Exp(a + b × X1,035 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,503 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7278 + 0.0021 × 1,503 + 2 × 0.0469)
= Exp(5.0447)
= $155.19

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,035)
= Exp(a + b × X1,035 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,503 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7278 + 0.0021 × 1,503 – 2 × 0.0469)
= Exp(4.8571)
= $128.65

June 4, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,222)
= Exp(a + b × X1,222 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,775 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7278 + 0.0021 × 1,775 + 2 × 0.0469)
= Exp(5.6280)
= $278.10

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,222)
= Exp(a + b × X1,222 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,775 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.7278 + 0.0021 × 1,775 – 2 × 0.0469)
= Exp(5.4404)
= $230.53
