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 ALGN 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 21, 2025
End date: March 19, 2025

a = 17.6328

b = -0.0069

s = 0.0232

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0069) – 1
= -92.01%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0232) – 1
= 9.73%

January 21, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,207)
= Exp(a + b × X1,207 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,756 + 2 × s)
= Exp(17.6328 + -0.0069 × 1,756 + 2 × 0.0232)
= Exp(5.5199)
= $249.61

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,207)
= Exp(a + b × X1,207 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,756 – 2 × s)
= Exp(17.6328 + -0.0069 × 1,756 – 2 × 0.0232)
= Exp(5.4270)
= $227.47

March 19, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,247)
= Exp(a + b × X1,247 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,813 + 2 × s)
= Exp(17.6328 + -0.0069 × 1,813 + 2 × 0.0232)
= Exp(5.1252)
= $168.21

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,247)
= Exp(a + b × X1,247 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,813 – 2 × s)
= Exp(17.6328 + -0.0069 × 1,813 – 2 × 0.0232)
= Exp(5.0323)
= $153.29
