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 LKQ 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: January 4, 2023
End date: November 21, 2025
a = 4.3860
b = -0.0005
s = 0.0696
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
= -16.88%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0696) – 1
= 32.09%

Exp(Y531)
= Exp(a + b × X531 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 772 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3860 + -0.0005 × 772 + 2 × 0.0696)
= Exp(4.1341)
= $62.43
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y531)
= Exp(a + b × X531 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 772 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3860 + -0.0005 × 772 – 2 × 0.0696)
= Exp(3.8558)
= $47.27
