Please take a look at the 1-year chart of ESV (Enso, Plc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of ESV (Enso, Plc.) With exception to a few moves here and there, ESV has traded mostly sideways since August of last year. During that period of time, you will notice that the stock commonly reacts to the $60 price. That price has been resistance (red) on multiple occasions and back in January it also acted as support (blue), just as it has a couple of times here recently.
The Tale of the Tape: ESV tends to react to $60. A trader could enter a long position at $60 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below that support a short position would be recommended instead.
