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 SWK 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: August 31, 2022
End date: May 22, 2024

a = 3.8958

b = 0.0004

s = 0.0649

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0004) – 1
= 14.15%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0649) – 1
= 29.63%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y781)
= Exp(a + b × X781 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,132 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8958 + 0.0004 × 1,132 + 2 × 0.0649)
= Exp(4.4358)
= $84.42

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y781)
= Exp(a + b × X781 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,132 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8958 + 0.0004 × 1,132 – 2 × 0.0649)
= Exp(4.1763)
= $65.13

May 22, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,214)
= Exp(a + b × X1,214 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,762 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8958 + 0.0004 × 1,762 + 2 × 0.0649)
= Exp(4.6642)
= $106.08

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,214)
= Exp(a + b × X1,214 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,762 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.8958 + 0.0004 × 1,762 – 2 × 0.0649)
= Exp(4.4047)
= $81.83
