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: February 24, 2023
End date: December 31, 2024

a = 4.3241

b = 0.0010

s = 0.0598

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0010) – 1
= 42.10%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0598) – 1
= 27.04%

February 24, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y662)
= Exp(a + b × X662 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 960 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3241 + 0.0010 × 960 + 2 × 0.0598)
= Exp(5.3679)
= $214.41

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y662)
= Exp(a + b × X662 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 960 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3241 + 0.0010 × 960 – 2 × 0.0598)
= Exp(5.1285)
= $168.77

December 31, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,127)
= Exp(a + b × X1,127 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,636 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3241 + 0.0010 × 1,636 + 2 × 0.0598)
= Exp(6.0186)
= $411.00

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,127)
= Exp(a + b × X1,127 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,636 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3241 + 0.0010 × 1,636 – 2 × 0.0598)
= Exp(5.7793)
= $323.52

a = 5.4247

b = 0.0002

s = 0.0648

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
