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 UAL 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: August 1, 2024
End date: December 6, 2024

a = -10.3350

b = 0.0084

s = 0.0502

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0084) – 1
= 2,081.43%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0502) – 1
= 22.24%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,135)
= Exp(a + b × X1,135 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,647 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-10.3350 + 0.0084 × 1,647 + 2 × 0.0502)
= Exp(3.6750)
= $39.45

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,135)
= Exp(a + b × X1,135 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,647 – 2 × s)
= Exp(-10.3350 + 0.0084 × 1,647 – 2 × 0.0502)
= Exp(3.4741)
= $32.27
