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 BMY 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: March 30, 2022
End date: August 12, 2024

a = 4.8908

b = -0.0006

s = 0.0675

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0006) – 1
= -21.06%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0675) – 1
= 31.00%

March 30, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y592)
= Exp(a + b × X592 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 860 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8908 + -0.0006 × 860 + 2 × 0.0675)
= Exp(4.4685)
= $87.22

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y592)
= Exp(a + b × X592 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 860 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8908 + -0.0006 × 860 – 2 × 0.0675)
= Exp(4.1985)
= $66.58

= Exp(a + b × X1,186 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,726 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8908 + -0.0006 × 1,726 + 2 × 0.0675)
= Exp(3.9073)
= $49.76

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,186)
= Exp(a + b × X1,186 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,726 – 2 × s)
