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 HSIC 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 15, 2022
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 4.7901

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0475

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -10.65%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0475) – 1
= 20.94%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y834)
= Exp(a + b × X834 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,208 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7901 + -0.0003 × 1,208 + 2 × 0.0475)
= Exp(4.5124)
= $91.14

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y834)
= Exp(a + b × X834 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,208 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7901 + -0.0003 × 1,208 – 2 × 0.0475)
= Exp(4.3222)
= $75.36

July 25, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7901 + -0.0003 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0475)
= Exp(4.3217)
= $75.32

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7901 + -0.0003 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0475)
= Exp(4.1315)
= $62.27
