NovaGold Resources Inc.
Here’s whether NovaGold Resources Inc. (NG) 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 40 — healthy momentum range; strong 1-year return of +66.2%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-2.00% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-38.9%). Currently 49.1% off its 52-week high. Score: -3/7.
NG is trading below its 200-day MA ($9.14) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 39.5 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +66.2% compares to +24.4% for SPY (beat the market by 41.8%). The current 49.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
