Institutional allocation rises despite ongoing selling pressure

Bullish momentum sustained as overbought signals and divergence emerge
Technically, AEM is holding above the MA-20 at C$260.69, the MA-50 at C$261.93, and the MA-200 at C$263.05. Immediate support is established at the Ichimoku Kijun of C$260.13. Momentum indicators are constructive: MACD and ADX are both on buy signals, while the RSI stands at 59.12, in line with bullish momentum. The CCI is also positive. However, Stoch RSI is registering short-term overbought conditions and Bull/Bear Power has reached overbought, indicating intraday buyer dominance. The Awesome Oscillator remains neutral, highlighting some divergence as today's price approaches the session low with moderate volatility.
Range-bound action likely as buyers and sellers contest support
Over the next 2 to 3 trading days, AEM is expected to move within a typical volatility band of C$253.04 to C$273.96. The base case scenario points to further consolidation within this range. Should buyers regain control, a break above resistance may trigger follow-on buying interest. Conversely, a sustained move below support near C$260 could accelerate downside momentum as sellers test lower price levels.
