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 MRNA 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: June 4, 2021
End date: May 1, 2024

a = 6.5553

b = -0.0012

s = 0.2293

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0012) – 1
= -34.76%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.2293) – 1
= 150.27%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y526)
= Exp(a + b × X526 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 763 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5553 + -0.0012 × 763 + 2 × 0.2293)
= Exp(6.1211)
= $455.34

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y526)
= Exp(a + b × X526 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 763 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5553 + -0.0012 × 763 – 2 × 0.2293)
= Exp(5.2037)
= $181.94

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5553 + -0.0012 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.2293)
= Exp(4.8782)
= $131.39

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5553 + -0.0012 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.2293)
= Exp(3.9608)
= $52.50

a = 1.0231

b = 0.0020

s = 0.0828

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0020) – 1
