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 JNJ 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 4, 2022
End date: July 24, 2024

a = 5.2279

b = -0.0001

s = 0.0357

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0001) – 1
= -4.35%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0357) – 1
= 15.37%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y656)
= Exp(a + b × X656 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 949 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.2279 + -0.0001 × 949 + 2 × 0.0357)
= Exp(5.1837)
= $178.34

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y656)
= Exp(a + b × X656 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 949 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.2279 + -0.0001 × 949 – 2 × 0.0357)
= Exp(5.0407)
= $154.57
