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 FDX 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: September 11, 2020
End date: March 16, 2023
a = 5.9770
b = -0.0005
s = 0.1094
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0005) – 1
= -18.01%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1094) – 1
= 54.91%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y347)
= Exp(a + b × X347 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 501 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9770 + -0.0005 × 501 + 2 × 0.1094)
= Exp(5.9232)
= $373.61
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y347)
= Exp(a + b × X347 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 501 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9770 + -0.0005 × 501 – 2 × 0.1094)
= Exp(5.4855)
= $241.17

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y978)
= Exp(a + b × X978 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,417 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9770 + -0.0005 × 1,417 + 2 × 0.1094)
= Exp(5.4248)
= $226.96
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y978)
= Exp(a + b × X978 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,417 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.9770 + -0.0005 × 1,417 – 2 × 0.1094)
= Exp(4.9871)
= $146.51

s = 0.0411
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0017) – 1

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y854)
= Exp(a + b × X854 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,236 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9308 + 0.0017 × 1,236 + 2 × 0.0411)
= Exp(5.1078)
= $165.30
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y854)
= Exp(a + b × X854 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,236 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9308 + 0.0017 × 1,236 – 2 × 0.0411)
= Exp(4.9434)

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,095)
= Exp(a + b × X1,095 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,586 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.9308 + 0.0017 × 1,586 + 2 × 0.0411)
= Exp(5.7009)
= $299.15
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,095)
= Exp(a + b × X1,095 – 2 × s)
