Highlights

  • ABX/CAD trades below short- and medium-term moving averages, showing persistent selling pressure in the near term.
  • Momentum indicators present a mixed outlook, with some intraday buyer strength but broader signals lacking a clear trend.
  • Expected trading range is C$58.35 to C$60.93, with a higher likelihood of a down move unless C$60.13 resistance is surpassed.

Muted momentum as short-term levels cap recovery

On the technical front, ABX is trading below the MA-20 at C$60.52 and the MA-50 at C$60.07, but holds above the MA-200 at C$59.19 on the daily chart. The Ichimoku Kijun registers at C$60.13 and acts as the first resistance for upward movement. The MACD issues a strong buy signal, while the ADX is neutral. RSI stands at 47.74, indicating some selling bias. The Stochastic RSI is oversold, with CCI and Awesome Oscillator remaining neutral, and Bull/Bear Power signals show buyer strength intraday even as overall momentum appears muted.

Range-bound trade likely as resistance and support define outlook

For the next several days, the expected trading range is C$58.35–C$60.93, with a 32% probability assigned to an upside move. The most likely scenario sees the price fluctuating within this corridor, in line with recent volatility. Should ABX break through resistance at C$60.13, a short-term bullish scenario may unfold, while a drop below the C$58.35 support zone would open the door for further downside.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, senior analyst at Traders Union, notes that Barrick Gold holds above its key long-term average despite intraday weakness. He sees muted momentum, but technicals suggest buyers are present on short-term dips. The analyst points to a defined trading corridor, with resistance at C$60.13 and support at C$58.35. He assigns a constructive outlook if resistance gives way. "If ABX breaks above C$60.13, we could see a fresh bullish run in the coming sessions."

In a recent review, analysts noted that Barrick Gold's strong fundamentals and mixed technical signals had set the stage for continued range-bound trading amid persistent volatility. The latest technical positioning reinforces this outlook, highlighting the importance of monitoring the C$60.13 resistance and C$58.35 support as potential catalysts for a decisive move outside the current trading band.
