Highlights

  • ABX/CAD displays sustained bearish pressure, trading below major moving averages across all timeframes.
  • Momentum and oscillators signal ongoing seller dominance, with most indicators in oversold or sell territory.
  • Price is expected to fluctuate between C$49.84 and C$55.22, with a 76% probability of further downside.

Momentum signals deteriorate as technical barriers persist

ABX is trading below its MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200 moving averages. The Ichimoku Kijun level at C$54.15 now serves as immediate resistance. Momentum-based indicators, including the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX), are generating Sell signals, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 29.05 and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is also in Sell territory. Bull/Bear Power is oversold, indicating pronounced seller dominance. The Stochastic RSI and Awesome Oscillator are both neutral, not reinforcing the prevailing trend.

High downside risk as range-bound pattern dominates

In the short term, ABX is expected to trade within a range of C$49.84 to C$55.22. There is a high probability (76%) of a downward move, while an upward move is less likely at 24%. The most likely scenario is for the price to drift sideways within this volatility band. A bullish reversal would require a breakout above immediate resistance near C$54.15, whereas a drop below support at C$49.84 would signal further weakness.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent technical weakness in Barrick Gold as the stock remains pressured below major moving averages. Trend and momentum indicators point to a dominance of sellers, with no fresh news to shift market sentiment. He notes a high probability of continued range trading unless key resistance at C$54.15 is reclaimed. "With sellers in control and no catalyst in sight, I remain cautious until ABX breaks above immediate resistance."

Earlier, analysts noted that Barrick Gold shares were under sustained bearish momentum, with technical indicators highlighting persistent selling pressure and limited chances of a rebound. The latest market action reinforces this cautious outlook, making the C$54.15 resistance level a crucial pivot for any potential shift in trend direction.
