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 LMT 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: September 4, 2024
End date: March 4, 2025

a = 9.3289

b = -0.0018

s = 0.0366

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0018) – 1
= -48.35%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0366) – 1
= 15.76%

September 4, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,113)
= Exp(a + b × X1,113 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,617 + 2 × s)
= Exp(9.3289 + -0.0018 × 1,617 + 2 × 0.0366)
= Exp(6.4748)
= $648.62

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,113)
= Exp(a + b × X1,113 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,617 – 2 × s)
= Exp(9.3289 + -0.0018 × 1,617 – 2 × 0.0366)
= Exp(6.3285)
= $560.32

March 4, 2025 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,236)
= Exp(a + b × X1,236 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,798 + 2 × s)
= Exp(9.3289 + -0.0018 × 1,798 + 2 × 0.0366)
= Exp(6.1472)
= $467.40

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,236)
= Exp(a + b × X1,236 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,798 – 2 × s)
= Exp(9.3289 + -0.0018 × 1,798 – 2 × 0.0366)
= Exp(6.0009)
= $403.77
