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 DXC 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: May 13, 2021
End date: May 8, 2024

a = 4.0810

b = -0.0006

s = 0.0770

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0006) – 1
= -19.45%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0770) – 1
= 36.07%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y507)
= Exp(a + b × X507 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 735 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0810 + -0.0006 × 735 + 2 × 0.0770)
= Exp(3.7995)
= $44.68

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y507)
= Exp(a + b × X507 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 735 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0810 + -0.0006 × 735 – 2 × 0.0770)
= Exp(3.4915)
= $32.84

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0810 + -0.0006 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0770)
= Exp(3.1530)
= $23.41

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0810 + -0.0006 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0770)
= Exp(2.8450)
= $17.20

a = 3.0291

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0611

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= 0.75%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0611) – 1
= 27.68%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,066)
= Exp(a + b × X1,066 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,547 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0291 + 0.0000 × 1,547 + 2 × 0.0611)
= Exp(3.1828)
= $24.11

Bottom border of price channel:
