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 ZTS 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: June 9, 2021
End date: January 20, 2023

a = 5.8770

b = -0.0007

s = 0.0800

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0007) – 1
= -21.29%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0800) – 1
= 37.73%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y526)
= Exp(a + b × X526 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 763 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.8770 + -0.0007 × 763 + 2 × 0.0800)
= Exp(5.5366)
= $253.81

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y526)
= Exp(a + b × X526 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 763 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.8770 + -0.0007 × 763 – 2 × 0.0800)
= Exp(5.2165)
= $184.28

January 20, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y933)
= Exp(a + b × X933 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,353 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.8770 + -0.0007 × 1,353 + 2 × 0.0800)
= Exp(5.1496)
= $172.36

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y933)
= Exp(a + b × X933 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,353 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.8770 + -0.0007 × 1,353 – 2 × 0.0800)
= Exp(4.8295)
= $125.15
