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 ABT 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: January 25, 2021
End date: December 13, 2023

a = 4.8945

b = -0.0002

s = 0.0608

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0002) – 1
= -6.37%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0608) – 1
= 27.52%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y441)
= Exp(a + b × X441 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 641 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8945 + -0.0002 × 641 + 2 × 0.0608)
= Exp(4.9005)
= $134.35

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y441)
= Exp(a + b × X441 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 641 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8945 + -0.0002 × 641 – 2 × 0.0608)
= Exp(4.6574)
= $105.36

= Exp(4.7108)
= $111.14

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,168)
= Exp(a + b × X1,168 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,693 – 2 × s)
