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.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees broad selling momentum pushing Barrick Gold sharply lower. He notes the absence of supportive news and clear dominance by technical sellers. Technicals confirm the negative trend, with major moving averages acting as resistance. The expert believes any short-term rebound faces strong headwinds. "As long as ABX remains capped below C$53.53, sellers control the field and continued pressure on the C$49.92 support looks likely."

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.
