McDonald’s is in love with the 50 monthly moving average.This is the only TA you need for McDonald’s. It’s a consistently strong stock that has only had two red yoy returns in 20 years, and in those 20 years its average drawdown is 12%. We dropped 14% from the year at 288 to 247 and bounced near the 50 MA. I expect this to consolidate for several days or weeks potentially but price target is 300 before EOY. Positions: 131 shares @ 259/share 20 contracts 300c March 2025 @ 4.74/ea

The Golden Arches at a Technical Crossroad .McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD), a stalwart in the fast-food industry, is currently navigating turbulent waters. As of the latest market close, MCD is priced at $253.70, reflecting a slight dip in the pre-market at $253.44. The stock's technical indicators and recent price action suggest a critical juncture, providing both potential risks and opportunities for traders and investors alike. MCD's price action is currently showing signs of bearish pressure, as evidenced by the recent downturn in the stock's weekly candlestick pattern. The closing price of $253.70 positions the stock just above its immediate support level of approximately $252.80. This level is crucial as it marks the lower boundary of the recent trading range and could serve as a pivot point for future price movements. Relative Strength Index (RSI): With an RSI of 33.82, MCD is approaching oversold territory. This typically signals that the stock may be undervalued and could be due for a bounce. However, caution is advised as RSI alone isn't a definitive buy signal. Short-term MAs (10, 20, 30-day EMAs and SMAs) are all indicating a bearish trend as they align above the current price, suggesting downward pressure. The 200-day EMA at 253.41 is acting as a key support level. A sustained break below this could open up further downside risks. MACD: The MACD level at -6.86 indicates a bearish momentum, as the signal line is positioned below the MACD line, reinforcing the downtrend. The momentum indicator at -12.99 shows a bearish outlook, yet the proximity to oversold levels hints at a potential reversal if buying interest materializes. Stochastic Oscillator (%K at 14.74): Suggests a buy signal as it indicates the stock is oversold and could be due for an upward correction. The weekly chart reveals a clear downtrend with lower highs and lower lows forming since the peak earlier in the year. This bearish pattern is compounded by the stock trading below the Ichimoku cloud, which typically suggests continued downward momentum. The volume profile shows a decline in buying interest, as seen by the diminishing green bars, underscoring the selling pressure. Recent news highlights a mixed sentiment towards the fast-food sector. Despite inflationary pressures and shifting consumer preferences, McDonald's has shown resilience in its financial performance. The latest earnings reports indicate steady revenue, but the market remains cautious amid broader economic uncertainties. Support Levels: Immediate support lies at $252.80, followed by stronger support at the $250 psychological level. A break below these levels could accelerate the downward movement towards the $245.00 - $240.00 range. Near-term resistance is seen around $260.00, aligning with the 20-day SMA. A breach above this could signal a short-term bullish reversal, targeting the $270.00 - $275.00 range. Trade Recommendation Short-Term Long Position: Entry: Consider entering a long position if the price rebounds off the $252.80 support level with confirmation (such as a bullish candlestick pattern or increased volume). Target: Aim for the $260.00 resistance level, with a potential stretch goal to $270.00. Stop Loss: Place a stop loss below $250.00 to protect against further downside. Short Position: Entry: Enter a short position on a decisive break below $252.80 with strong volume. Target: Look for a move towards $245.00, and further to $240.00 if the bearish momentum persists. Stop Loss: Set a stop loss above $255.00 to mitigate risk if the breakout fails. While McDonald's (MCD) is teetering on the edge of critical support, its near-oversold status presents a potential short-term buying opportunity. However, traders should remain vigilant for further bearish developments that could lead to additional downside. The interplay of these factors makes MCD a compelling candidate for both long and short strategies in the upcoming sessions.

MCD LONG : GREAT LONG FOR A GREAT RRR From a technical point of view, the bullish channel that I am sharing, has been faithfully mainteined by the price, since 2018 (except for the covid crisis which catalyzed an historical volatility much greater than the average volatility of the stock). The current price, compared at revenue, it is definitely interesting. In a context of increasing volatility, holding a defensive stock like MCD could be a winning opportunity in the portfolio

McDonald’s Misses Profit Estimates Amidst Middle East Conflict:McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: NYSE:MCD ) falls short of quarterly profit estimates for the first time in two years. Amidst a backdrop of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and evolving consumer preferences, the iconic fast-food chain faces challenges in maintaining its market dominance. This article delves into the factors behind McDonald's recent performance and the broader implications for its global operations. Growing Consumer Landscape: In an era where consumers are becoming increasingly budget-conscious, McDonald's, known for its affordability, is witnessing a shift in consumer behavior. CEO Chris Kempczinski acknowledged that consumers are becoming more discerning with their spending, signaling a departure from traditional consumption patterns. This shift underscores the need for McDonald's to reassess its pricing strategy and value proposition in the face of changing market dynamics. Impact of Middle East Conflict: The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has cast a shadow over McDonald's international sales, particularly in regions where geopolitical tensions are high. With CFO Ian Borden's warning of a sequential decline in international sales, the company faces headwinds in key markets such as China, where economic sluggishness compounds the challenges posed by geopolitical unrest. Western brands like McDonald's find themselves embroiled in controversy, facing protests and boycott campaigns over perceived political affiliations, further exacerbating the situation. Franchise Disputes and Public Relations Challenges: McDonald's recent controversies, including backlash from franchises in Muslim-majority countries and legal disputes in Malaysia, highlight the complexities of operating a global brand in a politically charged environment. The company's acquisition of its Israeli franchise and legal actions against boycott movements underscore its efforts to manage reputational risks and safeguard its business interests. However, navigating geopolitical sensitivities while maintaining a consistent brand image remains a delicate balancing act for McDonald's. Looking Ahead: As McDonald's grapples with the fallout from missed profit estimates and geopolitical tensions, the road ahead remains uncertain. The company must adapt to evolving consumer preferences, mitigate geopolitical risks, and navigate public relations challenges to regain its footing in the global market. Strategic adjustments in pricing, marketing, and corporate governance will be crucial as McDonald's seeks to restore investor confidence and sustain long-term growth. Technical Outlook Despite the miss in profit estimates, McDonald's stock ( NYSE:MCD ) is up 1.02% trading with a moderate Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 53.12.

Down with the clownMy plan is to buy NYSE:MCD puts on Monday before earnings. This idea is based purely on technical analysis, which I think sufficiently supports the theory that the price will go lower in the short term. However, in the broader scope, this drop could produce a great buying opportunity for those looking to go long. The weekly chart shows last week’s solid green candle closed right below the 100 period SMA. NYSE:MCD has not dropped below the 200 period SMA since March 2020, so I think the overall trend will stay intact once this downtrend has concluded. I will support my thesis by analyzing price levels, trend patterns, moving averages, volume analysis, and RMI. On the daily chart, we can see NYSE:MCD has been in a downtrend since late January. A lower high of $279.82 was made last week and unless a higher high is made, we will be trying to find a lower low. This is also clear on the Awesome Oscillator (AO) & MACD indicator. AO confirms the price is in a strong downtrend while MACD is positive and descending back towards the zero line. The Volume profile shows the price is currently in an accumulation zone, however the RMI Trend Sniper just gave a bearish signal. I would expect the price action from here to play out like the previous cycle, which saw a 14% drop after the signal was given. I doubt the price will go down by that much since there is significant historical support at the 0.75 level. Due to the timing of this earnings release and other factors that could influence the market this week, I could see the price going as low as $253 in the near term, before finding support around $258 and reversing back into an uptrend after May. NYSE:MCD is currently in a strong downtrend on the 4hr chart since the end of February. AO and MACD are close to crossing to the negative side, so it appears we will be heading lower soon. I’m looking for an opportunity to buy puts at $277 on Monday at some point. MCD is currently below the 50, 100, & 200 SMAs. The 200 SMA was rejected upon retest which supports the idea that we’re moving to lower lows. It’s also noteworthy that this pattern looks like an inverse cup & handle. The technicals are pointing to further downside for this stock while keeping with the longer trend. This makes for a great swing trading opportunity or a good indicator for buyers that lower prices are yet to come. Let me know what you think of my assessment of NYSE:MCD or if your charts are making you draw a different conclusion. Thanks for reading!
