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 URBN 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: May 6, 2022
End date: August 1, 2024

a = 2.0563

b = 0.0010

s = 0.0662

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0010) – 1
= 46.24%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0662) – 1
= 30.32%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y618)
= Exp(a + b × X618 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 897 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0563 + 0.0010 × 897 + 2 × 0.0662)
= Exp(3.1227)
= $22.71

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y618)
= Exp(a + b × X618 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 897 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0563 + 0.0010 × 897 – 2 × 0.0662)
= Exp(2.8578)
= $17.42

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,179)
= Exp(a + b × X1,179 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,715 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0563 + 0.0010 × 1,715 + 2 × 0.0662)
= Exp(3.9745)
= $53.22

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,179)
= Exp(a + b × X1,179 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,715 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.0563 + 0.0010 × 1,715 – 2 × 0.0662)
= Exp(3.7096)
= $40.84
