1-year chart of END (Endeavour International Corporation)


Over the last (2) months, END has been consolidating within a small Rectangle pattern. A Rectangle pattern forms when a stock gets stuck bouncing between a horizontal support and resistance. For END, the Rectangle pattern has formed a clear $9 resistance (red) and an $8 support (navy). Once END eventually breaks out of it's Rectangle, either the $10 or $6 level should come back into play.

The Tale of the Tape: END has formed a small Rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $8, or on a break above $9. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $8, but a short could also be placed on a rally up to $9.
