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 BMY 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: October 26, 2022
End date: March 4, 2024

a = 5.5073

b = -0.0009

s = 0.0347

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0009) – 1
= -28.74%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0347) – 1
= 14.89%

October 26, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y878)
= Exp(a + b × X878 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,272 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.5073 + -0.0009 × 1,272 + 2 × 0.0347)
= Exp(4.3958)
= $81.11

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y878)
= Exp(a + b × X878 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,272 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.5073 + -0.0009 × 1,272 – 2 × 0.0347)
= Exp(4.2570)
= $70.60

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,216)
= Exp(a + b × X1,216 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,767 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.5073 + -0.0009 × 1,767 + 2 × 0.0347)
= Exp(3.9362)
= $51.23

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,216)
= Exp(a + b × X1,216 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,767 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.5073 + -0.0009 × 1,767 – 2 × 0.0347)
= Exp(3.7975)
= $44.59
