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 MORN 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 7, 2023
End date: April 24, 2024

a = 3.5614

b = 0.0014

s = 0.0497

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0014) – 1
= 64.10%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0497) – 1
= 21.98%

March 7, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y827)
= Exp(a + b × X827 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,203 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5614 + 0.0014 × 1,203 + 2 × 0.0497)
= Exp(5.2932)
= $198.97

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y827)
= Exp(a + b × X827 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,203 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5614 + 0.0014 × 1,203 – 2 × 0.0497)
= Exp(5.0945)
= $163.12

April 24, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,112)
= Exp(a + b × X1,112 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,617 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5614 + 0.0014 × 1,617 + 2 × 0.0497)
= Exp(5.8550)
= $348.96

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,112)
= Exp(a + b × X1,112 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,617 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5614 + 0.0014 × 1,617 – 2 × 0.0497)
= Exp(5.6563)
= $286.09
