Equinox Gold Corp.
Here’s whether Equinox Gold Corp. (EQX) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Bearish.
Positives: RSI 39 — healthy momentum range; strong 1-year return of +61.2%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-2.84% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-29.2%); rising volume on a downtrend (distribution, 1.32x avg). Currently 44.4% off its 52-week high. Score: -3/7.
EQX is trading below its 200-day MA ($13.35) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 39.4 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +61.2% compares to +22.9% for SPY (beat the market by 38.3%). The current 44.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
