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 DFIN 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: February 26, 2021
End date: July 26, 2024

a = 2.9705

b = 0.0006

s = 0.1307

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 26.05%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1307) – 1
= 68.66%

February 26, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y399)
= Exp(a + b × X399 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 578 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9705 + 0.0006 × 578 + 2 × 0.1307)
= Exp(3.5984)
= $36.54

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y399)
= Exp(a + b × X399 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 578 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9705 + 0.0006 × 578 – 2 × 0.1307)
= Exp(3.0757)
= $21.67

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9705 + 0.0006 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.1307)
= Exp(4.3887)
= $80.54

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9705 + 0.0006 × 1,824 – 2 × 0.1307)
= Exp(3.8660)
= $47.75
