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 UPS 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: October 22, 2021
End date: April 3, 2025

a = 5.4235

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0612

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -11.91%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0612) – 1
= 27.74%

October 22, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y374)
= Exp(a + b × X374 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 540 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4235 + -0.0003 × 540 + 2 × 0.0612)
= Exp(5.3583)
= $212.37

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y374)
= Exp(a + b × X374 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 540 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4235 + -0.0003 × 540 – 2 × 0.0612)
= Exp(5.1135)
= $166.25

April 3, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,238)
= Exp(a + b × X1,238 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,799 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4235 + -0.0003 × 1,799 + 2 × 0.0612)
= Exp(4.9209)
= $137.13

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,238)
= Exp(a + b × X1,238 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,799 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4235 + -0.0003 × 1,799 – 2 × 0.0612)
= Exp(4.6761)
= $107.35

a = 5.6783

b = -0.0005

s = 0.0554

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
= -17.40%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0554) – 1
= 24.83%

January 31, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y693)
= Exp(a + b × X693 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,006 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6783 + -0.0005 × 1,006 + 2 × 0.0554)
= Exp(5.2624)
= $192.94

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y693)
= Exp(a + b × X693 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,006 – 2 × s)

= Exp(5.0406)
= $154.56

April 29, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.6783 + -0.0005 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.0554)
= Exp(4.8335)
= $125.65

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
