Candlestick Chart

In looking at the attached candlestick chart of DLR, we see the shares form a double bottom at the low $80 area in both the October 2022 and April 2023 time frame. Then the shares trended upwards from that point until November of 2024 when it hit its peak at $190. At that point the shares reversed quite heavily until it found a floor at the $135.00 area back in early April of this year.

A strong uptrend has re-asserted itself in the last 2 months. There is a bit of resistance forthcoming right here at the $178 level but if DLR manages to break above this price point the shares will then challenge its all important resistance level at the recent high of $190 from back in November of last year. Support can be found at the $157.00 area.

Digital Realty has also moved more into the co-location business increasingly serving enterprises and facilitating network connections. Digital Realty operates as a real estate investment trust.
