SSR Mining Inc.
Here’s whether SSR Mining Inc. (SSRM) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); strong 1-year return of +113.8%. Concerns: below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-2.94% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-12.1%). Currently 26.4% off its 52-week high. Score: +0/7.
SSRM is holding above its long-term 200-day MA ($26.56) but has slipped below the 50-day MA ($28.99), pointing to short-term weakness in an otherwise intact trend. An RSI of 33.9 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +113.8% compares to +16.5% for SPY (beat the market by 97.4%). The current 26.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
