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 HOLX 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: September 30, 2020
End date: May 8, 2024

a = 4.2430

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0679

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= 1.70%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0679) – 1
= 31.19%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y352)
= Exp(a + b × X352 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 510 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2430 + 0.0000 × 510 + 2 × 0.0679)
= Exp(4.4023)
= $81.63

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y352)
= Exp(a + b × X352 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 510 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2430 + 0.0000 × 510 – 2 × 0.0679)
= Exp(4.1307)
= $62.22

= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2430 + 0.0000 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0679)
= Exp(4.4630)
= $86.75

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2430 + 0.0000 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0679)
= Exp(4.1915)
= $66.12
