Shares of American Tower (AMT) have been climbing nicely and are just about 3% from an all-time high.
In March the stock hit 52-week lows and as it has rallied over the past 4 months a rising wedge pattern has emerged.
AMT owns and operates approximately 180,000 cell towers throughout North America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The company is poised to benefit from growth in mobile data usage as wireless carriers continue the move towards 5G. This increases demand for AMT’s towers.
Take a look at the 1-year chart of AMT below with added notations:

AMT has formed a resistance trendline and a support trendline (red). These two lines are converging on one another to form a rising wedge pattern, which is viewed as a bearish pattern.
A short trade could be entered on a break below the wedge trendline support, which currently sits just under $260.
Keep an eye out for AMT’s next earnings release which is scheduled on July 30th.
Have a good trading day!
Good luck!
