The price action in Barrick Gold Corporation (ABX) is not great considering gold is bouncing today. Barrick Gold is trading at $19.64, -0.14 (-0.71%) while the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) is trading at $133.39, +2.08 (1.58%).
The weakness in Barrick stems from a recent downgrade as well as a downside target that is drawing the current stock price like a magnet. This level is at $17.27 and is the low from 2008. While the stock may see short term bounces, it is likely headed to that double bottom before a major technical bounce.
