DLR Shares Plummet 2.8% as High Leverage and Bearish Patterns Trigger 477th-Ranked Volume

Digital Realty Trust (DLR) fell 2.80% on Sept. 2, 2025, with a trading volume of $230 million, ranking 477th in market activity. The decline intensified concerns over leverage risks and technical indicators, despite the company maintaining strong operational efficiency. Analysts highlighted a 104.10% equity ratio as a structural vulnerability, while bearish candlestick patterns and negative fund flows underscored near-term fragility.

Technical analysis revealed a bearish engulfing pattern and a 4.62 diagnostic score signaling volatility. The stock approached its 52-week low of $129.95 and hovered near the lower Bollinger Band ($163.35). Options data showed high leverage ratios, with the DLR20250912P155 put option offering 307.26% leverage and moderate delta exposure. Market participants are monitoring $163.35 as a critical support level and $168.74 (200-day average) for directional clarity.

Backtest results for DLR indicate a volatile setup: a breakdown below $163.35 could trigger deeper correction, while a rebound above $165 may signal short-term stability. Key metrics include an RSI of 47.40 (neutral), MACD at -1.42 (bearish), and a 26.70% implied volatility range. Traders are advised to prioritize the DLR20250912P155 put for aggressive bearish bets or the DLR20250912C165 call for cautious bullish exposure, contingent on price action beyond key levels.
