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 UCTT 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: January 12, 2021
End date: December 20, 2023

a = 4.2401

b = -0.0006

s = 0.1543

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0006) – 1
= -20.67%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1543) – 1
= 85.40%

January 12, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y287)
= Exp(a + b × X287 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 419 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2401 + -0.0006 × 419 + 2 × 0.1543)
= Exp(4.2830)
= $72.46

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y287)
= Exp(a + b × X287 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 419 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2401 + -0.0006 × 419 – 2 × 0.1543)
= Exp(3.6657)
= $39.08

December 20, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,027)
= Exp(a + b × X1,027 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,491 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2401 + -0.0006 × 1,491 + 2 × 0.1543)
= Exp(3.6031)
= $36.71

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,027)
= Exp(a + b × X1,027 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,491 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.2401 + -0.0006 × 1,491 – 2 × 0.1543)
= Exp(2.9858)
= $19.80

a = 3.0779

b = 0.0003

s = 0.1470

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0003) – 1
= 13.21%

Price channel spread:
