Bearish momentum intensifies as major indicators confirm weakness
On the technical side, ABX/CAD is trading below its MA-20 and MA-50 on the H1 timeframe, and remains under the daily MA-200. The Ichimoku Kijun stands at C$53.53, offering immediate resistance. Momentum indicators align with the negative trend: both MACD and ADX show clear Sell signals, RSI is at 25.39 indicating oversold conditions, while Stoch RSI, CCI, and Bull/Bear Power also reflect strong seller dominance.

Downside bias persists amid low reversal probability
In the short term, the expected trading range for ABX is C$49.92 to C$52.58. The likelihood of an upward move is assessed as very low, while a continued decline remains highly probable. The baseline scenario calls for prices to consolidate within this lower range; a breakout above C$53.53 would be needed for a bullish reversal, while a breach below C$49.92 would likely trigger further downside.
Earlier, analysts noted that Barrick Gold was facing persistent technical weakness and suggested a continued downside risk. The latest technical signals reinforce this negative outlook, with traders now advised to closely monitor the C$49.92 level as a potential trigger for further declines.
