AMT Plunges 2.64% to 2025 Low as Technicals and Sentiment Turn Bearish

Shares of American Tower Corporation (AMT) fell to their lowest level since February 2025 on September 4, 2025, with an intraday decline of 2.64%. The stock has lost 3.72% over two consecutive trading days, extending a bearish trend that has pushed the price below key technical levels. The recent sell-off reflects deteriorating market sentiment and a technical landscape dominated by bearish signals.

Technical indicators underscore the stock’s downward momentum. All short- and long-term moving averages, including the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, show the price trading below critical support levels, reinforcing a sell bias. The RSI at 39.57 suggests oversold conditions but fails to trigger a reversal, while the Fear & Greed Index at 39 highlights widespread investor pessimism. Over the past 30 days, AMT has experienced 4.01% volatility, with only 47% of sessions posting gains, signaling structural weakness.

Short-term projections highlight further instability. A 7-day price decline of 5.39% and a 1-week forecast of -1.08% point to continued downward pressure. Analysts predict a 7.49% drop to $181.55 within a month, with a projected peak of $197.71 on September 6 failing to break above the 200-day SMA. Long-term forecasts are equally bleak, with the stock expected to trade in a declining channel through 2030, averaging $115.66 by 2030—a 45.92% potential return for short sellers in October 2030 alone.

The bearish outlook is compounded by overvaluation. At $196.26, AMT is 8.10% above its 1-month price target, with no bullish signals among 26 technical indicators. Short-term strategies emphasize profit opportunities for bearish positions, such as a 13.49% ROI for shorting $1,000 of AMT between September 4 and November 19. Market analysts caution against buying the stock at current levels, noting a lack of catalysts to reverse the downtrend and weak historical performance relative to peers.
