Digital Realty Trust (DLR) Crossed Above the 20-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors
When a stock breaks out above the 20-day simple moving average, good things could be on the horizon. How should investors react?
Digital Realty Trust (DLR) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, DLR crossed above the 20-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.
The 20-day simple moving average is a well-liked trading tool because it provides a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period. Additionally, short-term traders find this SMA very beneficial, as it smooths out short-term price trends and shows more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.
The 20-day moving average can show signals that are similar to other SMAs as well. If a stock's price is moving above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive. When the price falls below the moving average, it can signal a downward trend.
Shares of DLR have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 8.3%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, suggesting that DLR could be poised for a continued surge.
The bullish case solidifies once investors consider DLR's positive earnings estimate revisions. No estimate has gone lower in the past two months for the current fiscal year, compared to 8 higher, while the consensus estimate has increased too.
Given this move in earnings estimate revisions and the positive technical factor, investors may want to keep their eye on DLR for more gains in the near future.
