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 7, 2020
End date: October 4, 2024

a = 5.6784

b = -0.0002

s = 0.2128

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -7.36%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.2128) – 1
= 134.28%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y295)
= Exp(a + b × X295 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 427 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6784 + -0.0002 × 427 + 2 × 0.2128)
= Exp(6.0147)
= $409.39

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y295)
= Exp(a + b × X295 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 427 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6784 + -0.0002 × 427 – 2 × 0.2128)
= Exp(5.1633)
= $174.75
