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 TSLA 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 3, 2020
End date: April 26, 2024

a = 5.7326

b = -0.0002

s = 0.2201

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -8.05%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.2201) – 1
= 141.19%

December 3, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y405)
= Exp(a + b × X405 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 584 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7326 + -0.0002 × 584 + 2 × 0.2201)
= Exp(6.0386)
= $419.31

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y405)
= Exp(a + b × X405 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 584 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7326 + -0.0002 × 584 – 2 × 0.2201)
= Exp(5.1582)
= $173.85

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.7326 + -0.0002 × 1,824 + 2 × 0.2201)
= Exp(5.7537)
= $315.34

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,824 – 2 × s)
