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 9, 2023
End date: April 24, 2024

a = 3.4443

b = 0.0014

s = 0.0486

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0014) – 1
= 64.90%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0486) – 1
= 21.45%

March 9, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y881)
= Exp(a + b × X881 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,277 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4443 + 0.0014 × 1,277 + 2 × 0.0486)
= Exp(5.2913)
= $198.61

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y881)
= Exp(a + b × X881 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,277 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4443 + 0.0014 × 1,277 – 2 × 0.0486)
= Exp(5.0970)
= $163.53

April 24, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,164)
= Exp(a + b × X1,164 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,689 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4443 + 0.0014 × 1,689 + 2 × 0.0486)
= Exp(5.8559)
= $349.29

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,164)
= Exp(a + b × X1,164 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,689 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.4443 + 0.0014 × 1,689 – 2 × 0.0486)
= Exp(5.6616)
= $287.60
