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: March 12, 2026

a = 4.0039

b = -0.0005

s = 0.0414

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
= -15.75%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0414) – 1
= 17.99%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y691)
= Exp(a + b × X691 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,001 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0039 + -0.0005 × 1,001 + 2 × 0.0414)
= Exp(3.6166)
= $37.21

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y691)
= Exp(a + b × X691 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,001 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0039 + -0.0005 × 1,001 – 2 × 0.0414)
= Exp(3.4512)
= $31.54
