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 PCAR 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: May 6, 2022
End date: May 8, 2024

a = 2.6044

b = 0.0012

s = 0.0569

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0012) – 1
= 52.65%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0569) – 1
= 25.55%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y755)
= Exp(a + b × X755 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,093 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.6044 + 0.0012 × 1,093 + 2 × 0.0569)
= Exp(3.9849)
= $53.78

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y755)
= Exp(a + b × X755 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,093 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.6044 + 0.0012 × 1,093 – 2 × 0.0569)
= Exp(3.7573)
= $42.83
