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 KHC 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: December 11, 2023
End date: January 26, 2026

a = 4.0500

b = -0.0005

s = 0.0420

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
= -15.93%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0420) – 1
= 18.30%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y723)
= Exp(a + b × X723 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,048 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0500 + -0.0005 × 1,048 + 2 × 0.0420)
= Exp(3.6357)
= $37.93

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y723)
= Exp(a + b × X723 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,048 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0500 + -0.0005 × 1,048 – 2 × 0.0420)
= Exp(3.4677)
= $32.06

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,254)
= Exp(a + b × X1,254 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0500 + -0.0005 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0420)
= Exp(3.2663)
= $26.21

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,254)
= Exp(a + b × X1,254 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)

= Exp(3.0982)
= $22.16
