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 LRCX 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: September 15, 2022
End date: April 26, 2024

a = 3.9721

b = 0.0016

s = 0.0742

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0016) – 1
= 78.02%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0742) – 1
= 34.55%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y853)
= Exp(a + b × X853 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,235 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9721 + 0.0016 × 1,235 + 2 × 0.0742)
= Exp(6.0717)
= $433.44

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y853)
= Exp(a + b × X853 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,235 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9721 + 0.0016 × 1,235 – 2 × 0.0742)
= Exp(5.7750)
= $322.14
