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: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); strong 1-year return of +48.3%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-2.84% over 10 days); RSI 71 — overbought, elevated pullback risk; 3-month momentum negative (-12.3%); rising volume on a downtrend (distribution, 1.28x avg). Currently 38.8% off its 52-week high. Score: -3/7.
EQX is trading below its 200-day MA ($13.18) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 70.8, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of +48.3% compares to +20.4% for SPY (beat the market by 28.0%). The current 38.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
