Hold candidate since Jul 22, 2026

The Antofagasta plc stock price gained 2.43% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 22nd Jul 2026), rising from $49.35 to $50.55. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.29% from a day low at $50.22 to a day high of $50.87. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 5.84% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 803 more shares were traded than the day before.

The stock lies in the middle of a very wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled.

ANFGF Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, July 17, 2026, and so far it has risen 7.82%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Antofagasta plc has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Antofagasta plc stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $51.57. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $49.26. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Antofagasta plc stock

Antofagasta plc finds support from accumulated volume at $48.74 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Our recommended stop-loss: $48.53 (-4.00%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 3 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (ANFGF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 23rd

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 23rd we expect Antofagasta plc to open at $50.55, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $49.51 and $51.59, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.09 (+/-4.22%) up or down from last closing price. If Antofagasta plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.22% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $50.95 (0.78%) than the support at $48.74 (3.59%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
