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 CSX 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: November 10, 2020
End date: November 30, 2023

a = 3.4365

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0680

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -0.17%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0680) – 1
= 31.24%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y245)
= Exp(a + b × X245 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 356 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4365 + 0.0000 × 356 + 2 × 0.0680)
= Exp(3.5708)
= $35.54

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y245)
= Exp(a + b × X245 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 356 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4365 + 0.0000 × 356 – 2 × 0.0680)
= Exp(3.2989)
= $27.08

November 30, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,013)
= Exp(a + b × X1,013 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,471 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4365 + 0.0000 × 1,471 + 2 × 0.0680)
= Exp(3.5655)
= $35.36

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,013)
= Exp(a + b × X1,013 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,471 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4365 + 0.0000 × 1,471 – 2 × 0.0680)
= Exp(3.2936)
= $26.94
