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 HP 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: March 9, 2020
End date: February 16, 2023

a = 2.2643

b = 0.0012

s = 0.1591

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0012) – 1
= 54.80%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1591) – 1
= 89.00%

March 9, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y202)
= Exp(a + b × X202 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 294 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.2643 + 0.0012 × 294 + 2 × 0.1591)
= Exp(2.9346)
= $18.81

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y202)
= Exp(a + b × X202 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 294 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.2643 + 0.0012 × 294 – 2 × 0.1591)
= Exp(2.2980)
= $9.95

February 16, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y944)
= Exp(a + b × X944 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,368 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.2643 + 0.0012 × 1,368 + 2 × 0.1591)
= Exp(4.2203)
= $68.05

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y944)
= Exp(a + b × X944 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,368 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.2643 + 0.0012 × 1,368 – 2 × 0.1591)
= Exp(3.5837)
= $36.01

a = 3.8406

b = -0.0001

s = 0.1085

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0001) – 1
= -4.48%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1085) – 1
= 54.34%

March 3, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y703)
= Exp(a + b × X703 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,018 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8406 + -0.0001 × 1,018 + 2 × 0.1085)
= Exp(3.9297)
= $50.89

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y703)
= Exp(a + b × X703 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,018 – 2 × s)

= Exp(3.4957)
= $32.97

May 17, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8406 + -0.0001 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.1085)
= Exp(3.8284)
= $45.99

Bottom border of price channel:

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