Bearish daily trend holds as sharp rebound faces resistance

RSI at 39 is nearing oversold territory, suggesting the recent decline in Ivanhoe Electric stock is approaching stretched levels. Despite a sharp move higher over the past week, the broader daily structure remains bearish, with shares trading below the MA-20, MA-50 and MA-200. The nearest resistance is the weekly high at $9.41.

Downside probability dominates as buyers struggle to clear weekly high

A close above $9.41 would indicate buyers are willing to follow through on the move. RSI nearing 39 reflects early signs that the recent downturn is starting to look overextended. Still, over the coming trading week, the probability of further upside is less than 20%, while the chance of downside exceeds 80%, with Ivanhoe Electric stock expected to trade between $8.25 and $9.62. A drop below $7.87 would show the move is being faded. On the weekly chart the longer-term picture stays firmly negative.

Previously it was reported that Ivanhoe Electric saw a notable shift in market dynamics following news of potential U.S. Export-Import Bank financing for its Santa Cruz Copper Project. The current technical setup now suggests that while the longer-term outlook remains negative, traders should monitor the $9.41 resistance level for early evidence of a reversal attempt.
