Technical resistance holds as weak momentum persists intraday

On the H1 chart, ABX remains below its MA-20 at C$56.86 and MA-50 at C$56.88, while the daily chart positions the stock under the long-term MA-200 at C$59.12. The Ichimoku Kijun at C$56.79 serves as immediate resistance. Momentum remains weak as MACD and ADX both signal a sell bias, and while RSI, CCI, and Stoch RSI avoid overbought or oversold extremes, these indicators maintain a bearish tilt. Notably, Bull/Bear Power registers a buy, pointing to a subtle edge for buyers intraday, in contrast to broader momentum signals.

Downside risk dominates as price range narrows

Over the next several trading days, ABX is expected to fluctuate between C$54.32 and C$58.08. With a 33% probability of an upward move and a 67% probability of a downward move, a decline is more likely than a rebound. The baseline outlook is for the stock to remain rangebound within this corridor, while a bullish scenario would require a breakout above the Ichimoku Kijun resistance. A bearish outcome would likely be confirmed by a drop below the projected support levels.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees Barrick Gold (ABX) trading below key moving averages with momentum indicators still skewed to the downside. Sellers continue to dominate across all timeframes, and the stock faces immediate resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun. He remains cautious, noting that a bullish reversal is unlikely unless the price breaks firmly above resistance. "Until ABX closes decisively above C$56.79, I see little reason to trust short-term upside."

Earlier, analysts noted that Barrick Gold faced persistent technical weakness and ongoing downside risk. The latest price action and momentum readings reinforce this cautious outlook, with traders advised to monitor the stock's ability to reclaim key resistance levels for signs of a potential trend reversal.
