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 SYY 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 19, 2021
End date: November 20, 2024

a = 4.2970

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0591

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -0.02%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0591) – 1
= 26.65%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y312)
= Exp(a + b × X312 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 456 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2970 + 0.0000 × 456 + 2 × 0.0591)
= Exp(4.4149)
= $82.67

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y312)
= Exp(a + b × X312 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 456 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2970 + 0.0000 × 456 – 2 × 0.0591)
= Exp(4.1786)
= $65.28
