Mixed momentum signals as short-term resistance limits upside

On the hourly chart, ABX is trading below the MA-20 at C$57.36 and MA-50 at C$57.34, while staying above the long-term MA-200 at C$56.25. Immediate resistance is seen at the Ichimoku Kijun level of C$58.55. Momentum signals conflict: the MACD is flashing a sell, the ADX and CCI both read neutral, and the RSI at 45.62 leans mildly bearish. The Stoch RSI points to overbought conditions, while Bull/Bear Power (BBP) highlights intraday bull dominance. The Awesome Oscillator also remains neutral, reflecting mixed signals in trend strength and direction.

Downside move favored as volatility range tightens

Over the next 2–3 trading days, ABX is likely to fluctuate within a volatility band of C$54.13 to C$59.19. There is a 60% probability of another move lower, compared to a 40% chance of a rebound. The baseline scenario calls for price consolidation within this range; a sustained breakout above immediate resistance at C$58.55 could trigger upside momentum, while a decisive drop below C$54.13 would open the door to further downside risk.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Barrick Gold showing mixed technical signals with price stuck below short-term moving averages but holding above long-term support. He notes resistance at C$58.55 and expects continued volatility within the C$54.13 to C$59.19 range. The analyst remains cautious due to conflicting momentum readings and a higher probability of further downside. "Base case is consolidation, and I remain defensive until ABX can reclaim C$58.55 with volume."

Earlier, analysts noted that Barrick Gold faced persistent selling pressure, with downside momentum dominating despite underlying optimism. The current market action introduces more mixed technical signals and intraday bull activity, so traders should watch for a potential momentum shift if resistance at C$58.55 is breached or, conversely, be prepared for renewed downside risk if support at C$54.13 fails to hold.
