IRM WCA - Ascending Triangle Company: Iron Mountain Incorporated (Delaware)
Ticker: IRM
Exchange: NYSE
Sector: Real Estate
Introduction:
Hello, and welcome to today's technical analysis. We are diving into the weekly chart of Iron Mountain Incorporated (IRM), a Real Estate company traded on the NYSE.
Analysis:
Taking a look at Iron Mountain's price movement, we can observe a series of interesting patterns. The price was initially propelled into an upward trend by an Ascending Triangle pattern and since the breakout from the ascending triangle took place, price is comfortably sitting above the 200 EMA. So it acted as a reversal pattern. This bullish trend was then enhanced by an accelerating trendline.
Following this phase of acceleration, the price entered a kind of sideways trend characterized by a Broadening Triangle pattern. This period of consolidation has since morphed into a new pattern.
For the past 399 days, an Ascending Triangle pattern has been forming. The upper horizontal boundary of this pattern has been touched five times, while the upwards sloping trendline acting as support has seen two touch points.
It's worth noting that the breakout from this pattern may take some time due to the nature of the data interval that we selected, but due to its potential significance, Iron Mountain Incorporated should be closely monitored as a key watchlist candidate, in whichever way it will break out.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Iron Mountain Incorporated presents a compelling case for a trade candidate, with a second Ascending Triangle forming after a period of sideways consolidation. The significance of a future breakout should not be underestimated.

IRON Mountain IRMOn the Weekly time frame we can observe that the candles are hitting the upper channel with a strong bull exhaustion. The Stochastic Momentum Index an the MACD on a Daily time frame are showing a bearish sign. I think we are going slowly in a distribution zone with sideways movements .
Iron Mounting Turning Into Mole HillsIron Mountain has a terminal core business that is losing physical document storage at the local level to local competitors with "in town" connections. The shredding business is dying quickly. The data storage that they spent mountains of money on is plagued by inadequate resources and a shit sales team. The company has a huge debt and only held on in the recent quarter BECAUSE business slowed. As offices get back to work, Iron Mountain will lose more document storage contracts at the local level. And, they will never put a dent in the data storage space competing against the tech titans. The company will sell the data storage business and cut the dividend to survive, not necessarily in that order. Technicals show a price in the teens soon.

With the Federal Reserve cutting short-term rates twice recently and reversing its decision to shrink its balance sheet earlier this year, along with continued stimulative central bank policies in other developed economies, there’s no reason not to expect the big money flow to continue, along with plenty of support for shares of real-estate investment trusts.
