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 UFPT 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, 2020
End date: May 8, 2024

a = 3.0089

b = 0.0013

s = 0.1053

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 60.46%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1053) – 1
= 52.38%

August 31, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y331)
= Exp(a + b × X331 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 480 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0089 + 0.0013 × 480 + 2 × 0.1053)
= Exp(3.8414)
= $46.59

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y331)
= Exp(a + b × X331 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 480 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0089 + 0.0013 × 480 – 2 × 0.1053)
= Exp(3.4202)
= $30.58

= Exp(3.0089 + 0.0013 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.1053)
= Exp(5.5853)
= $266.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
