Equinox Gold Corp's stock price fell by 5.18% as it crossed below the 5-day SMA, indicating a bearish trend. Despite the overall market strength, with the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 both showing gains, EQX's decline appears to be influenced by sector rotation rather than negative news specific to the company. Investors may be cautious as they assess the attractiveness of options strategies, such as the put option at a $12.50 strike, which offers a potential yield boost.
