Highlights

  • ABX/CAD remains under sustained selling pressure, trading below short-, medium-, and long-term trend indicators.
  • Momentum signals are decisively bearish, with multiple indicators confirming dominant seller control and continued downside risk.
  • Expected trading range for the next sessions is C$48.94 to C$52.96, with downside breakout more likely than a rebound.

Bearish momentum builds as technical signals confirm persistent selling

ABX has slipped below its MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200 levels, and the Ichimoku Kijun at C$51.24 marks immediate resistance. Technically, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) stands at Strong Sell and the Average Directional Index (ADX) confirms a persistent sell bias. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 36.78 and indicates a Sell, while the Stochastic RSI remains in oversold territory. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is neutral, but both Bull/Bear Power and Stochastic RSI highlight dominant selling activity during the session.

Downside extension risk as resistance caps upside potential

For the short term, ABX's expected price range is C$48.94 to C$52.96, defining the current volatility band relative to existing levels. The probability of an upside move remains very low, while downside continuation is highly likely. If ABX breaks above the immediate resistance, a bullish scenario could emerge, but a move below C$48.94 would confirm a bearish extension.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees continued technical weakness in Barrick Gold as the stock trades under its main moving averages and technicals flash a strong sell signal. He notes that momentum remains negative, with bearish indicators dominating and little evidence of support from buyers. The probability of further downside remains elevated unless the price reclaims C$51.24 resistance. "As long as ABX stays under its key averages, my tactical view is defensive — sellers remain firmly in control."

Earlier, analysts noted that Barrick Gold faced ongoing technical pressure and a heightened probability of downside movement despite efforts to enhance shareholder value. This latest decline below major moving averages reinforces the bearish trend, making C$48.94 a critical support level for traders to monitor in the coming sessions.
