Downside risk intensifies as upside remains capped by resistance

In the next two to three trading days, ABX is likely to remain confined within the C$51.22 to C$56.16 volatility band. Upside probability remains very low given current technical pressures, while downside risk is high and a reversal is unlikely. The base case expects continued sideways movement, but a bullish scenario requires a break above the Kijun resistance, while further weakness could extend to the lower end of the recent range.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees persistent technical weakness in Barrick Gold as the stock remains below all key moving averages. He notes that bearish signals from multiple momentum indicators point to sustained downside risk, with little evidence of an imminent reversal. Immediate resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun makes any bullish scenario unlikely unless breached. "As long as ABX trades below the C$54.89 resistance, I see no technical basis for optimism in the near term."

Earlier, analysts noted that persistent selling kept Barrick Gold stock under pressure despite positive company developments, maintaining a bearish technical outlook. The current analysis reaffirms this downside bias, with continued weakness suggesting traders should monitor the C$54.89 Ichimoku Kijun resistance for any potential shift in direction.
