What I’m Watching

I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to sort for stocks with notably improving technicals, a combination of momentum, strength, and direction. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for timely opportunities. AG checks those boxes.

AG has rallied from its recent low around $19 just 2 weeks ago. Its 20-day moving average is strong, as is its 50-day moving average, both of which are rated “BUY” by Barchart Opinion. The PPO indicator is showing signs of positive divergence, a sign of increasing momentum as the stock moves toward its February 2026 highs. With the underlying price of silver also trending higher, AG is well-positioned to capitalize on the broader commodity bull market.
