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 GOOGL 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: October 26, 2022
End date: May 3, 2024

a = 3.1700

b = 0.0010

s = 0.0581

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0010) – 1
= 46.53%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0581) – 1
= 26.15%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y877)
= Exp(a + b × X877 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,269 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.1700 + 0.0010 × 1,269 + 2 × 0.0581)
= Exp(4.6146)
= $100.95

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y877)
= Exp(a + b × X877 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,269 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.1700 + 0.0010 × 1,269 – 2 × 0.0581)
= Exp(4.3823)
= $80.02

= Exp(3.1700 + 0.0010 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.0581)
= Exp(5.1956)
= $180.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
