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 ULTA 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: November 28, 2022
End date: March 31, 2025
a = 6.5982
b = -0.0004
s = 0.1025
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -12.87%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1025) – 1
= 50.67%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y670)
= Exp(a + b × X670 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 971 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5982 + -0.0004 × 971 + 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(6.4366)
= $624.28
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y670)
= Exp(a + b × X670 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 971 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5982 + -0.0004 × 971 – 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(6.0267)
= $414.33

= Exp(a + b × X1,255 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5982 + -0.0004 × 1,825 + 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(6.1142)
= $452.24
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,255)
= Exp(a + b × X1,255 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,825 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.5982 + -0.0004 × 1,825 – 2 × 0.1025)
= Exp(5.7043)
= $300.15
