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 ROST 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 10, 2022
End date: July 25, 2024

a = 3.5913

b = 0.0008

s = 0.0799

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0008) – 1
= 33.19%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0799) – 1
= 37.64%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y703)
= Exp(a + b × X703 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,019 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5913 + 0.0008 × 1,019 + 2 × 0.0799)
= Exp(4.5512)
= $94.75

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y703)
= Exp(a + b × X703 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,019 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5913 + 0.0008 × 1,019 – 2 × 0.0799)
= Exp(4.2318)
= $68.84
