Endurance Technologies Ltd, which has almost doubled since June 1, 2020, gained by about 15 percent in May and moe than 10 percent in 2021. The stock is trading just 4 percent away from its 52-week high of Rs 1,540 recorded on February 24

Endurance Technologies that has a market capitalisation of more than Rs 20,000 crore could well hit Rs 2,000 going by the chart patterns, translating into an upside of about 35 percent from current levels. In a bull case scenario, the gain could be closer to 50 percent, experts said.

The stock closed 0.3 percent lower on June 2 at Rs 1,483.

“On P&F (Point & Figure) chart, recovery move from April 2020 has seen stock printing multiple bullish anchor columns. Following such pattern, bullish follow-through moves are seen, resulting in continuation of pullback,” Pritesh Mehta, Lead Technical Analyst-Institutional Equities, Yes Securities said.

A point & figure chart plots the price movement of the underlying stock without taking into consideration the passage of time.

“Since October, retracement moves have been shallow as the stock has reversed from its 10-column average. Since the week of May 2021, bear trap variation has led to a reversal in price, the same coincides with 3-column bullish triangle breakout,” he said.

Mehta added that if the stock sustains above three-digit Gann number of 151(0), it would result in a shift in orbit on the upside as per Gann parlance, which implies a continuation of recent momentum.

Gann Theory is used to predict the movement of prices. Experts use the Gann angle to forecast support and resistance levels.

“Multiple vertical counts are already active which implies a move above Rs2,000 in next 6-months (translating in a minimum upside of 35 percent). In the bull case scenario, the stock is expected to surpass Rs2,200,” explains Mehta.
