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 SHW 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: February 16, 2023
End date: April 15, 2024

a = 3.9077

b = 0.0011

s = 0.0543

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0011) – 1
= 46.71%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0543) – 1
= 24.27%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y953)
= Exp(a + b × X953 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,381 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9077 + 0.0011 × 1,381 + 2 × 0.0543)
= Exp(5.4665)
= $236.62

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y953)
= Exp(a + b × X953 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,381 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9077 + 0.0011 × 1,381 – 2 × 0.0543)
= Exp(5.2492)
= $190.40
