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 HSII 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 5, 2021
End date: November 30, 2023

a = 4.1156

b = -0.0006

s = 0.1044

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0006) – 1
= -19.44%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1044) – 1
= 51.85%

March 5, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y404)
= Exp(a + b × X404 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 585 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1156 + -0.0006 × 585 + 2 × 0.1044)
= Exp(3.9780)
= $53.41

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y404)
= Exp(a + b × X404 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 585 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1156 + -0.0006 × 585 – 2 × 0.1044)
= Exp(3.5602)
= $35.17

November 30, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,094)
= Exp(a + b × X1,094 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,585 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1156 + -0.0006 × 1,585 + 2 × 0.1044)
= Exp(3.3857)
= $29.54

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,094)
= Exp(a + b × X1,094 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,585 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.1156 + -0.0006 × 1,585 – 2 × 0.1044)
= Exp(2.9679)
= $19.45

a = 2.1328

b = 0.0008

s = 0.0603

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0008) – 1
= 31.90%

Price channel spread:
