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 EXPO 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: July 30, 2021
End date: April 25, 2024

a = 4.9237

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0801

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -10.17%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0801) – 1
= 37.79%

July 30, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y554)
= Exp(a + b × X554 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 802 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9237 + -0.0003 × 802 + 2 × 0.0801)
= Exp(4.8483)
= $127.52

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y554)
= Exp(a + b × X554 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 802 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9237 + -0.0003 × 802 – 2 × 0.0801)
= Exp(4.5278)
= $92.55

April 25, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,242)
= Exp(a + b × X1,242 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,802 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9237 + -0.0003 × 1,802 + 2 × 0.0801)
= Exp(4.5545)
= $95.06

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,242)
= Exp(a + b × X1,242 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,802 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.9237 + -0.0003 × 1,802 – 2 × 0.0801)
= Exp(4.2339)
= $68.99
