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 Dow Jones Utility Average (DJUA)
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: March 3, 2022
End date: April 19, 2024

a = 7.1555

b = -0.0003

s = 0.0409

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0003) – 1
= -8.84%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0409) – 1
= 17.75%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y617)
= Exp(a + b × X617 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 895 + 2 × s)
= Exp(7.1555 + -0.0003 × 895 + 2 × 0.0409)
= Exp(7.0102)
= 1,107.83

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y617)
= Exp(a + b × X617 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 895 – 2 × s)
= Exp(7.1555 + -0.0003 × 895 – 2 × 0.0409)
= Exp(6.8468)
= 940.82
