Energean PLC 

Energean PLC (LON: ENOG) is an FTSE-listed oil and gas company. The company provides exploration, production, vessel transportation, onshore, and offshore drilling services to its customers based in various countries.

As per our previous recommendation on ENOGon January 05, 2021, we recommended a ‘Buy’ rating on the stock for 2-4 weeks duration from the technical analysis standpoint. However, considering the recent price action, technical indicators, 52-week high level, and low double-digit returns; we are of the view that it is prudent to book profits at the current levels. Hence, we give a 'Sell' rating on the stock at the current price of GBX 913.40 (as on January 08, 2021, before the market close at 09:17 AM GMT). The summary of our 'Sell' rating and price movement since the previous recommendation on ENOG is provided as below:

Price action and technical indicator analysis (on the Daily chart):

ENOG’s prices moved up by ~31.71 percent from the recommended entry-price and made a high of GBX 922.10 on January 08, 2021. Prices broke the major resistance level of GBX 823 on January 07, 2021 and showcased sharp upside rally. Now the prices are hovering around the 52-week high of GBX 896 and may witness profit booking from the higher levels considering the recent rally before testing the 52-week high. 

RSI (14-period) is trading in the overbought zone at ~78, indicating a possibility of price reversal. However, prices are still sustaining above 21-period and 50-period SMA, acting as the support for the stock.

Conclusion:

Based on the above-mentioned price action, RSI (14-period), and 52-week high level analysis, we recommend a ‘Sell’ rating on ENOG and suggest investors to book profit at the current price of GBX 913.40 (as on January 08, 2021, before the market close at 09:17 AM GMT).

Note: How to Read the Charts?

The Green colour line reflects the 21-period moving average while the red line indicates the 50- period moving average. SMA helps to identify existing price trend. If the prices are trading above the 21-period and 50-period moving average, then it shows prices are currently trading in a bullish trend.

The Black colour line in the chart’s lower segment reflects the Relative Strength Index (14-Period) which indicates price momentum and signals momentum in trend. A reading of 70 or above suggests overbought status while a reading of 30 or below suggests an oversold status.

The Blue colour bars in the chart’s lower segment show the volume of the stock. The volume is the number of shares that changed hands during a given day. Stocks with high volumes are more liquid than stocks with lesser volume and we consider stocks with greater than or equal to 200,000 volumes as more liquid. Liquidity in stocks helps in easier and faster execution of the order.

The Orange colour lines are the trend lines drawn by connecting two or more price points and used for trend identification purposes. The trend line also acts as a line of support and resistance.

The reference date for all price data, volumes, technical indicators, support, and resistance levels is January 08, 2021, before the market close at 09:17 AM GMT.
