McDonald's | MCD | Long OpportunityMcDonald's Corp ( NYSE:MCD ) may be entering buy territory. Head and shoulders pattern formed before this recent decline, but primary support may be near $218. Given the March 2022 Federal Reserve meeting and OpEx next week (as well as the Russia/Ukraine war), there could be more declines ahead to the primary support (indicators show this is likely, as well). If it can hold that level, a 50 EMA (yellow line) or 200 EMA (green line) touch may be in its future. There is a small gap at $266.72 - $270 to fill, but that would likely be reached if the indexes melt-up or superb business news emerges.
On Feb 28, 2022, the Director purchased $244,180 worth of shares at an average of $244.18. No insider sales after Oct 2021.
P/E near 22
McDonalds - Dividend Aristocrat to Correct by 30%?Are we about to observe similar drop for the global giant McDonalds that we saw in 2020?
These are few points that may trigger it:
Fundamental indicators:
Recession - warning macro signals suggest that world economies are slowing down and recession is possible within a year, this may be reflected in the forecast of the company, like any other in S&P500
Eastern Europe conflict - suspension of business in Russia will certainly have an impact on earnings
P/E - is quite high at 25x and possible correction may let some steam out of the overpriced stock
Liabilities - rising against assets and equity which may be at uncomfortable levels for investors
Technically:
Since the significant drop we saw in 2020 there was a hype in the market linked to Fed 'money printing', however the bull run is difficult associate with an impulse. Hence this is a complex running correction forming with double zig-zags. And one of the distinctive points of this correction is that waves W and Y are very symmetrical and of the similar amplitude
The potential correction may be very rapid after the earnings report and reach levels of $190 to $170.
Alternative scenario - if the report comes out positive then wave X may continue extending and to update current highs before repeating this significant correction
What are your thoughts about this scenario?

McDonalds - MCD• Nice upside of the MCD in the last weeks.
• It looks like a flag formation beginning April at the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement
• The gap before the flag formation showed a nice support at USD 242.95/244.77
• 50 MA is turning positive and will cross the 200 MA soon if the upside is continuing
• Outbreak of the flag formation was with higher volume which is supportive for the continuation
• Price target at around USD 280
• Let’s see if the price can break through the resistance of the 100 MA and the 76.4% Fibonacci Retracement in the next days

MCD to close all 850 locations inside RussiaIf you haven`t sold the forming of the Head and Shoulders bearish Chart Pattern:
Then you should know that McDonald’s owns around 84% of its 847 restaurants in Russia, which accounts for 9% of its total revenues and less than 3% of its operating income globally.
They will continue paying its 62,000 employees in Russia.
Considering the facts above, my buy area is around $212.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
Why BTC might be around 80k soon (maybe higher)1. The Russia/Ukraine war that brough down prices to a strong trend (SEE LINKED chart: buy zone 2, BTC)
2. The freezing of accounts/financial war. It provides the news needed to get some bag-holders around 70k and 80k.
3. Fib numbers allow for it (everyone sees 70, but I think we have the momentum to head higher)
4. The weekly charts are heading towards a top
5. The Superbowl (Go Rams). SO many people (RICH people) were just blasted with crypto ads, and now seeing why crypto isn't so crazy due to the Russia situation. Psychology wise, It gives new investors a little thrill of watching their investment sky rocket until you pull the rug and they buy all the way back down to 45k over the next year. You have them hooked, and they'll have to defend their decision to buy the top by probably buying more on the dip.
6. Follow the trends
7. It gives the alt coins another chance to spike (especially DOGE) which Elon is NOW suddenly talking about again.
- Also GME and their NFT marketplace and Apple partnership possibility
8. Follow the MONEY!! So many companies were hiring crypto managers & specialists over the last year, that it makes sense they could be buying and/or accepting soon.
TL;DR - I think the drop from the Russia situation along with a big push to crypto is going to trigger a BIG move up over the next month.
My plan is to look for an exit around March 23rd to Mid April
Be aware that there is a possibility we see 36k and 38k again.
41-42k holding would be pretty bullish
First Bullish signs on Daily Bitcoin charthellllo everybody, hope your doing very well x
After a really good rally late last week and more buying this week we finally have some closing candles above $40k
Our lovely indicators are now showing bullish sentiment and bitcoin looks ready to make some solid gains over the month, expect a bit of divergence to pull down the price but if $40k holds I'm pretty confident were back in the bulltard ring
fibs are there as a guide and I prefer them upside down on a BTC retracement, no big calls/longs going on which is also good to see, and health for the price to move up further
once/if we get to the ATH then ill make another chart with revised levels for some good exit strategies/prices, I'm seeing a downturn before April possible so we might have a few months to run up against inflating fiat nightmare were being led into - i'd like to see $46k broken and held to make things even more certain, this market can go up as fast as it goes down, let's hope its an exciting ride after some shitty few years regarding tyrant bent politicians - lots of fundamentals going towards the effort here too but can always turn and mess up our profit party x
remember, nothing happens by chance x don't stay lucky, take the right opportunities instead
McDonald's | Fundamental AnalysisAs many people know, McDonald's recovery is now at its peak. Last week, this fast-food titan announced its Q4 earnings results, which include record sales growth as the company recovered from the 2020 pandemic recession. The chain is becoming much more profitable, thanks to a combination of cost-cutting and price increases.
Let's take a look at some key findings from the fourth-quarter report to gauge the company's state of affairs.
Investors feared that the latest variant of the coronavirus might hinder McDonald's growth recovery, but those fears proved to be exaggerated. Comparable-store sales were up 10.8 percent on a two-year basis, smoothing out fluctuations associated with temporary store closures. This result represents an acceleration from the previous quarter when revenues rose 10.2% on this basis.
Of course, the U.S. market has slowed a bit, with two-year numbers down to 13% from 15% in the third quarter. However, McDonald's is still showing attendance growth and growth in average spending per visit in all of its key geographic regions. CEO Chris Kempczinski, in a press release, called the 2021 results, which include McDonald's fastest growth in U.S. history, "a truly exceptional result." The chain's global sales for the full year rose 21 percent to $112 billion.
Of course, McDonald's has not escaped a sharp rise in inflation, which has hit food ingredients especially hard in recent months. For example, wages rose more than 10 percent for most of 2021, and food costs rose about 6 percent.
The chain has more than offset these pressures by raising prices, aggressively cutting costs, and increasing efficiency through more takeout and delivery sales. In fact, operating profit increased 17%, outpacing overall revenue growth.
This success has allowed operating margins to soar to 42.4% of sales from 36.7% a year ago. McDonald's is now showing record profitability, even as costs across the business are rising rapidly. Operating profits for the full year topped $10 billion, a new record.
Kempczinski and his team are watching for some major potential challenges for fiscal 2022, including continued pressure to pass on higher food costs to consumers. Some key markets, such as China, face further COVID-19 restrictions. And competition in home food delivery remains as fierce as ever.
But last year's results confirm that this restaurant chain has several world-class assets that allow it to thrive in almost any market environment. It's also a testament to the flexibility of its massive fast-food platform to cater to a wide range of tastes, whether premium drinks and sandwiches or inexpensive meals.
As a result, investors have every reason to expect positive returns from owning McDonald's stock. Of course, it's unlikely that the company will ever repeat its 2021 performance when its revenues rose 14% after a downturn in 2020.
But the restaurant chain has regularly gained share in a huge global market and boasts some of the highest margins and cash flow in the industry. These factors, as well as a growing dividend, should help shareholders continue to outperform the market by owning these shares.
MCD Earnings Musk eating a Happy Meal if McDonald's accepts DOGEElon Musk said he would eat a Happy Meal on TV if McDonald's started accepting Dogecoin as a form of payment.
Even BurgerKing, who had joint marketing campaigns with Dogecoin before, commented on the tweet.
MCD McDonald's global sales increased 12.3% in Q4, +7.5% in U.S. sales
but:
Revenue: $6.01 billion vs $6.02 billion expected
EPS: $2.23 vs $2.33 expected
My scenario is a bounce from this support, forming a Head and Shoulders Bearish chart parttern with a price target around $229.
Elon Musk would eat a Happy Meal if McDonald's accepts DOGEElon Musk said he would eat a Happy Meal on TV if McDonald's started accepting Dogecoin as a form of payment.
Even BurgerKing, who had joint marketing campaigns with Dogecoin before, commented on the tweet.
So i believe DOGE has some upside momentum to the next resistance, $0.165, or at least a strong support at this current level.
Looking forward to read your opinion about this.
