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 GILD 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: November 7, 2022
End date: October 12, 2023

a = 4.8245

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0256

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -11.22%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0256) – 1
= 10.78%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y890)
= Exp(a + b × X890 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,288 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8245 + -0.0003 × 1,288 + 2 × 0.0256)
= Exp(4.4559)
= $86.13

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y890)
= Exp(a + b × X890 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,288 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8245 + -0.0003 × 1,288 – 2 × 0.0256)
= Exp(4.3535)
= $77.75

= Exp(a + b × 1,627 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8245 + -0.0003 × 1,627 + 2 × 0.0256)
= Exp(4.3454)
= $77.12

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,123)
= Exp(a + b × X1,123 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,627 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8245 + -0.0003 × 1,627 – 2 × 0.0256)
= Exp(4.2430)
= $69.62
