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 IT 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: June 21, 2021
End date: November 2, 2023

a = 5.4261

b = 0.0002

s = 0.0922

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
= 9.54%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0922) – 1
= 44.60%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y533)
= Exp(a + b × X533 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 774 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4261 + 0.0002 × 774 + 2 × 0.0922)
= Exp(5.8036)
= $331.51

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y533)
= Exp(a + b × X533 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 774 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4261 + 0.0002 × 774 – 2 × 0.0922)
= Exp(5.4349)
= $229.26

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,130)
= Exp(a + b × X1,130 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,638 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4261 + 0.0002 × 1,638 + 2 × 0.0922)
= Exp(6.0193)
= $411.29

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,130)
= Exp(a + b × X1,130 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,638 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4261 + 0.0002 × 1,638 – 2 × 0.0922)
= Exp(5.6505)
= $284.44
