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 ABBV 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: December 15, 2021
End date: December 29, 2023
a = 4.7892
b = 0.0001
s = 0.0584
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0001) – 1
= 4.33%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0584) – 1
= 26.29%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y481)
= Exp(a + b × X481 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 694 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7892 + 0.0001 × 694 + 2 × 0.0584)
= Exp(4.9864)
= $146.41
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y481)
= Exp(a + b × X481 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 694 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7892 + 0.0001 × 694 – 2 × 0.0584)
= Exp(4.7530)
= $115.93

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y993)
= Exp(a + b × X993 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,438 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7892 + 0.0001 × 1,438 + 2 × 0.0584)
= Exp(5.0728)
= $159.61
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y993)
= Exp(a + b × X993 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,438 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7892 + 0.0001 × 1,438 – 2 × 0.0584)
= Exp(4.8394)
= $126.39

a = 3.9166
b = 0.0008
s = 0.0515
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0008) – 1

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y828)
= Exp(a + b × X828 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,199 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9166 + 0.0008 × 1,199 + 2 × 0.0515)
= Exp(4.9393)
= $139.67
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y828)
= Exp(a + b × X828 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,199 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9166 + 0.0008 × 1,199 – 2 × 0.0515)
= Exp(4.7334)
= $113.68

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,210)
= Exp(a + b × X1,210 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,753 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.9166 + 0.0008 × 1,753 + 2 × 0.0515)
= Exp(5.3642)
= $213.62
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,210)
= Exp(a + b × X1,210 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,753 – 2 × s)
