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 DXCM 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: April 29, 2020
End date: March 5, 2024

a = 4.5581

b = 0.0001

s = 0.1672

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0001) – 1
= 3.56%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1672) – 1
= 95.21%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y245)
= Exp(a + b × X245 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 356 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5581 + 0.0001 × 356 + 2 × 0.1672)
= Exp(4.9267)
= $137.93

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y245)
= Exp(a + b × X245 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 356 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5581 + 0.0001 × 356 – 2 × 0.1672)
= Exp(4.2578)
= $70.65

March 5, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,213)
= Exp(a + b × X1,213 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,762 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5581 + 0.0001 × 1,762 + 2 × 0.1672)
= Exp(5.0616)
= $157.84

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,213)
= Exp(a + b × X1,213 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,762 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5581 + 0.0001 × 1,762 – 2 × 0.1672)
= Exp(4.3927)
= $80.85

a = 0.8592

b = 0.0023

s = 0.0812

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0023) – 1
= 129.46%

Price channel spread:
