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 CVX 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 19, 2022
End date: March 13, 2024

a = 5.4692

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0421

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -9.54%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0421) – 1
= 18.36%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y877)
= Exp(a + b × X877 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,269 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4692 + -0.0003 × 1,269 + 2 × 0.0421)
= Exp(5.2050)
= $182.18

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y877)
= Exp(a + b × X877 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,269 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4692 + -0.0003 × 1,269 – 2 × 0.0421)
= Exp(5.0364)
= $153.92

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,227)
= Exp(a + b × X1,227 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,780 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4692 + -0.0003 × 1,780 + 2 × 0.0421)
= Exp(5.0647)
= $158.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,227)
= Exp(a + b × X1,227 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,780 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4692 + -0.0003 × 1,780 – 2 × 0.0421)
= Exp(4.8961)
= $133.77
