Hycroft Mining's shares fell about 7% in early trading on Tuesday following a record high on Monday, reflecting ongoing volatility in the gold and silver markets, which investors should closely monitor for sentiment shifts.
The stock is currently trading 40.3% above its 20-day simple moving average and 232% above its 100-day SMA, indicating robust short-term momentum, although the RSI at 80.32 suggests potential correction risks ahead. This pullback comes amid a surge in silver prices, which jumped over 5% on Monday, surpassing $108 per ounce due to strong safe-haven demand and tightness in the physical market, directly contributing to Hycroft's stock soaring over 2,400% in the past year.
Investors are advised to keep an eye on market conditions as Hycroft Mining controls one of the world's larger gold-silver deposits at its Hycroft Mine in Nevada, positioning the company to capitalize on rising silver prices driven by geopolitical uncertainties.
