Barrick Gold rises 2.28% today

Highlights

ABX is trading below key short- and medium-term moving averages, signaling pronounced bearish momentum despite minor intraday strength.
Momentum and oscillator indicators show sustained oversold conditions, with sellers maintaining control and no confirmation of a reversal yet.
Expected weekly price range is $54.54 to $55.96, with critical resistance at $60.08 and strong support at $48.00.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that ABX remains under clear bearish pressure despite a mild intraday bounce. The stock is still below its key short- and medium-term moving averages. Momentum and oscillator signals show no confirmation of a reversal. Absence of news deprives the chart of a fresh catalyst for sentiment shift. "With sellers dominating and no news-driven support, I see little reason to turn optimistic at these levels — risk of further decline remains high."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees long-term support holding above the $48.00 level as a constructive sign. He emphasizes the opportunity created by the oversold signals and the mild uptick seen today. The bullish structure on the higher time frame remains intact, even as intraday momentum lags. "Further growth is expected if price manages to break above $60.08 — current market conditions offer attractive setups for forward-looking investors."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes a pronounced divergence between sharp oversold signals and persistent selling. The move near today’s range high introduces fresh short-term trading opportunities. He highlights that the sideways consolidation scenario favors nimble, sentiment-driven setups. "With weak momentum but price perched near support, intraday traders should watch for fast mean-reversion plays around the $48.00-$55.00 zone."

Oversold momentum persists as sellers dominate intraday

ABX is trading at $52.12, which is below both the SMA-20 at $62.19 and the SMA-50 at $64.79, indicating pronounced short- and medium-term bearish pressure, while the current price remains above the long-term SMA-200 at $48.00, suggesting support on a longer horizon. Nearest dynamic resistance aligns with the Ichimoku Kijun around $60.08, while the $48.00 area serves as key support. Momentum signals remain weak with MACD and ADX both indicating a sell bias, and oscillators such as RSI (23.90), Stoch RSI, CCI, and BBP all suggesting oversold conditions, pointing to ongoing dominance by sellers intraday. There is a mild upward move intraday, rising $1.16 or 2.28%, with no significant gap between yesterday’s close and today’s open and the current price tracking near today’s range high, implying moderate volatility and showing strength toward session highs. Oscillator and momentum readings are in clear divergence, as despite strong oversold indications, selling pressure continues and the upward intraday move has yet to be confirmed by a shift in overall trend momentum.

Earlier, analysts noted that Barrick Gold was under persistent bearish momentum, with sellers dominating short- and medium-term trends while long-term support remained intact. The current mild rebound does not yet signal a shift in overall momentum, so traders should closely monitor whether ABX can sustain levels above the key $48.00 long-term support as further downside remains a notable risk.
