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 ICUI 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 8, 2021
End date: December 28, 2022

a = 6.5758

b = -0.0012

s = 0.0691

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0012) – 1
= -35.83%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0691) – 1
= 31.86%

September 8, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y581)
= Exp(a + b × X581 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 842 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5758 + -0.0012 × 842 + 2 × 0.0691)
= Exp(5.6907)
= $296.10

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y581)
= Exp(a + b × X581 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 842 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5758 + -0.0012 × 842 – 2 × 0.0691)
= Exp(5.4142)
= $224.56

December 28, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y910)
= Exp(a + b × X910 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,318 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5758 + -0.0012 × 1,318 + 2 × 0.0691)
= Exp(5.1121)
= $166.03

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y910)
= Exp(a + b × X910 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,318 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5758 + -0.0012 × 1,318 – 2 × 0.0691)
= Exp(4.8356)
= $125.91
