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 PDCO 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: June 20, 2023
a = 3.4557
b = -0.0001
s = 0.0583
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0001) – 1
= -4.70%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0583) – 1
= 26.24%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y389)
= Exp(a + b × X389 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 562 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4557 + -0.0001 × 562 + 2 × 0.0583)
= Exp(3.4980)
= $33.05
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y389)
= Exp(a + b × X389 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 562 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4557 + -0.0001 × 562 – 2 × 0.0583)
= Exp(3.2650)
= $26.18

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,028)
= Exp(a + b × X1,028 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,492 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4557 + -0.0001 × 1,492 + 2 × 0.0583)
= Exp(3.3753)
= $29.23
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,028)
= Exp(a + b × X1,028 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,492 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4557 + -0.0001 × 1,492 – 2 × 0.0583)
= Exp(3.1422)
