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 FTNT 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: May 3, 2024
End date: March 5, 2025

a = 0.4572

b = 0.0024

s = 0.0625

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0024) – 1
= 137.81%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0625) – 1
= 28.42%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,027)
= Exp(a + b × X1,027 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,491 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.4572 + 0.0024 × 1,491 + 2 × 0.0625)
= Exp(4.1211)
= $61.63

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,027)
= Exp(a + b × X1,027 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,491 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.4572 + 0.0024 × 1,491 – 2 × 0.0625)
= Exp(3.8710)
= $47.99

= Exp(4.8474)
= $127.41

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,235)
= Exp(a + b × X1,235 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,797 – 2 × s)
