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 MKSI 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 2, 2020
End date: December 13, 2023

a = 5.6697

b = -0.0008

s = 0.1408

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0008) – 1
= -25.51%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1408) – 1
= 75.61%

December 2, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y394)
= Exp(a + b × X394 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 569 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6697 + -0.0008 × 569 + 2 × 0.1408)
= Exp(5.4922)
= $242.79

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y394)
= Exp(a + b × X394 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 569 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6697 + -0.0008 × 569 – 2 × 0.1408)
= Exp(4.9291)
= $138.26

December 13, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,156)
= Exp(a + b × X1,156 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,675 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6697 + -0.0008 × 1,675 + 2 × 0.1408)
= Exp(4.5999)
= $99.47

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,156)
= Exp(a + b × X1,156 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,675 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6697 + -0.0008 × 1,675 – 2 × 0.1408)
= Exp(4.0368)
= $56.65
