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 KO 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: December 13, 2021
End date: April 24, 2024

a = 4.0169

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0389

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= 0.73%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0389) – 1
= 16.82%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y429)
= Exp(a + b × X429 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 621 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0169 + 0.0000 × 621 + 2 × 0.0389)
= Exp(4.1071)
= $60.77

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y429)
= Exp(a + b × X429 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 621 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0169 + 0.0000 × 621 – 2 × 0.0389)
= Exp(3.9516)
= $52.02

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,022)
= Exp(a + b × X1,022 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,484 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0169 + 0.0000 × 1,484 + 2 × 0.0389)
= Exp(4.1243)
= $61.82

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,022)
= Exp(a + b × X1,022 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,484 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0169 + 0.0000 × 1,484 – 2 × 0.0389)
= Exp(3.9688)
= $52.92
