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 KLAC 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 15, 2024
End date: January 13, 2025
a = 8.3821
b = -0.0011
s = 0.0608
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0011) – 1
= -33.08%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0608) – 1
= 27.55%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,035)
= Exp(a + b × X1,035 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,503 + 2 × s)
= Exp(8.3821 + -0.0011 × 1,503 + 2 × 0.0608)
= Exp(6.8500)
= $943.85
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,035)
= Exp(a + b × X1,035 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,503 – 2 × s)
= Exp(8.3821 + -0.0011 × 1,503 – 2 × 0.0608)
= Exp(6.6066)
= $739.97

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,200)
= Exp(a + b × X1,200 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,746 + 2 × s)
= Exp(8.3821 + -0.0011 × 1,746 + 2 × 0.0608)
= Exp(6.5826)
= $722.40
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,200)
= Exp(a + b × X1,200 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,746 – 2 × s)
= Exp(8.3821 + -0.0011 × 1,746 – 2 × 0.0608)
= Exp(6.3392)
= $566.36
