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: April 28, 2021
End date: May 2, 2024

a = 5.4325

b = -0.0002

s = 0.0637

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -7.92%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0637) – 1
= 29.04%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y500)
= Exp(a + b × X500 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 726 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4325 + -0.0002 × 726 + 2 × 0.0637)
= Exp(5.3958)
= $220.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y500)
= Exp(a + b × X500 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 726 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4325 + -0.0002 × 726 – 2 × 0.0637)
= Exp(5.1408)
= $170.86

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4325 + -0.0002 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0637)
= Exp(5.1470)
= $171.91

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4325 + -0.0002 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0637)
= Exp(4.8920)
= $133.22

a = 5.8920

b = -0.0005

s = 0.0501

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
= -16.95%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0501) – 1
= 22.20%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y943)
= Exp(a + b × X943 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,369 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.8920 + -0.0005 × 1,369 + 2 × 0.0501)
= Exp(5.2958)
= $199.50

Bottom border of price channel:
