Stock Price Trends

Stock price trends estimated using linear regression.

Key facts

  • The primary trend is increasing.
  • The growth rate of the primary trend is 42.98% per annum.
  • OLED price at the close of May 7, 2024 was $175.18 and was inside the primary price channel.
  • The secondary trend is decreasing.
  • The decline rate of the secondary trend is 39.17% per annum.
  • OLED price at the close of May 7, 2024 was higher than the top border of the secondary price channel by $10.53 (6.40%). This indicates a possible reversal in the secondary trend direction.
  • The direction of the secondary trend is opposite to the direction of the primary trend. This indicates a possible reversal in the direction of the primary trend.

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 OLED 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 13, 2022
End date: March 12, 2024

a = 3.4853

b = 0.0010

s = 0.0783

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0010) – 1
= 42.98%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0783) – 1
= 36.80%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y781)
= Exp(a + b × X781 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,132 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4853 + 0.0010 × 1,132 + 2 × 0.0783)
= Exp(4.7509)
= $115.69

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y781)
= Exp(a + b × X781 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,132 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4853 + 0.0010 × 1,132 – 2 × 0.0783)
= Exp(4.4376)
= $84.57

March 12, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,219)
= Exp(a + b × X1,219 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,770 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4853 + 0.0010 × 1,770 + 2 × 0.0783)
= Exp(5.3759)
= $216.13

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,219)
= Exp(a + b × X1,219 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,770 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4853 + 0.0010 × 1,770 – 2 × 0.0783)
= Exp(5.0625)
= $157.99

a = 7.5308

b = -0.0014

s = 0.0301

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0014) – 1
= -39.17%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,159)
= Exp(a + b × X1,159 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,680 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.5308 + -0.0014 × 1,680 + 2 × 0.0301)
= Exp(5.3027)
= $200.87

Bottom border of price channel:
