Bullish momentum persists as mixed indicators temper upward range

Immediate support is found at $128.30, with resistance at $132.62. However, the longer-term configuration remains bearish as indicated by the MA-50 versus MA-200 relationship. Momentum indicators confirm buyers are in command: MACD signals a strong buy, the ADX supports additional upside, the RSI reads 59.06 to show moderate bullishness, and the Stochastic RSI at 12.55 signals short-term oversold conditions. The CCI is neutral at 25.41 and Bull/Bear Power is positive at 2.19, but with signs of overbought levels. Newmont has posted a $4.94 gain today and shows intraday strength toward highs, though oscillators provide mixed signals as mild exhaustion emerges near current resistance.
Earlier, analysts noted that Newmont benefited from a recovery in gold prices as market narratives turned more favorable for select mining stocks. The current technical setup signals a pivotal zone, with a potential bullish breakout above $132.62 warranting close watch for further upside momentum.
