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 INTU 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 2, 2022
End date: April 12, 2024

a = 4.4166

b = 0.0011

s = 0.0459

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0011) – 1
= 51.97%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0459) – 1
= 20.14%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y887)
= Exp(a + b × X887 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,283 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4166 + 0.0011 × 1,283 + 2 × 0.0459)
= Exp(5.9796)
= $395.27

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y887)
= Exp(a + b × X887 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,283 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4166 + 0.0011 × 1,283 – 2 × 0.0459)
= Exp(5.7961)
= $329.00

= Exp(a + b × 1,810 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4166 + 0.0011 × 1,810 + 2 × 0.0459)
= Exp(6.5839)
= $723.34

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,248)
= Exp(a + b × X1,248 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,810 – 2 × s)
