McDONALDS:FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS+PRICE ACTION & NEXT TARGET|LONG🔔There was perhaps no greater source of criticism against McDonald's for missing out on the opportunity to brag about chicken sandwiches than its own franchise owners, but after the fast-food giant's second-quarter earnings report, they should feel like masters of the situation.
McDonald's reported sales and revenue that exceeded Wall Street expectations, thanks in large part to the success of the three chicken sandwiches it launched in February. The company saw double-digit growth in comparable sales in the U.S., not only from the pandemic recession but also on a two-year basis.
The fast-food chain may have been too late to enter the chicken sandwich war, but it is quickly making up for a lost time.
When McDonald's finally entered the fray, there was every reason to believe that its impact would be marginal. Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen had a good 18-month head start on its competitor, and other fast-food and fast-casual chains followed suit to join what was becoming a cultural phenomenon. Even chicken king Chick-fil-A perfected its chicken sandwich to stay relevant.
Nevertheless, McDonald's persisted, seemingly oblivious to what was happening around it, but taking fading fire from its franchise owners, who began to act to develop their sandwich.
They saw that they were losing customers, and they needed to add something to their menu to generate buzz.
That's why launching a corporate-backed three chicken sandwich initiative had all the hallmarks of being too little and too late. Nevertheless, it turned out to be exactly what McDonald's customers were looking for.
Mobile location data from analytics company Placer.ai showed that consumers rushed to McDonald's literally at a moment's notice. She noted that on the day sandwiches appeared on the menu, foot traffic at McDonald's restaurants was up 19 percent from a year earlier, and there was an increase in the days that followed.
Keep in mind that these numbers were compared to attendance rates before the pandemic led to the eventual closure of the restaurants' dining rooms. That said, the growth was even well above 2019 levels.
Placer.ai Vice President of Marketing Ethan Chernofsky said: "The launch was so significant that it fundamentally changed the trajectory of McDonald's.
While it helped lift first-quarter results at the time, it's clear that the second quarter has paid off as well. McDonald's sales figures were up 26 percent from a year ago and 15 percent from two years ago.
McDonald's really hit a marketing extravaganza this past quarter. In addition to the fact that the chicken sandwiches resonated with consumers, the company also had a big hit with its chicken nuggets promotion featuring BTS, the South Korean K-pop (or Korean pop) boy band.
The company also experienced a significant rebound globally, with sales growth of 2.6% in international markets. The growth was more modest than in the U.S., as many overseas markets still face tight COVID-19 restrictions.
However, McDonald's is not stopping there. Building on its partnership with BTS, Travis Scott, and J Balvin, the company announced a new celebrity pairing, this time with rapper Saweetie. The company will introduce the "Saweetie Meal," which includes a Big Mac, chicken nuggets, fries, a drink, and sauces, including Saweetie and Sour Sauce.
McDonald's may not be about to ruin the feathers of leaders Popeyes and Chick-fil-A just yet, as both chains, according to Placer.ai, have seen an increase in traffic themselves. But now, at least, it has a fighting chance. With the recent release of its own Ch'King chicken sandwich by Popeyes, a sister chain of Burger King, the sibling rivalry from Restaurant Brands International could go in McDonald's favor.
Until the company introduced its new chicken sandwiches, McDonald's stock was up much less. Since March, however, the company's stock is up about 20 percent, and the restaurant's stock is now looking better than it has in a long time.
Focusing on its core menu, giving customers and franchise owners the food they want, and smart partnerships have put McDonald's back on top.
McDonalds +20% Upside Trade?MCD's has consolidated nicely right along its recent all time high set months ago at $231.91 and is doing so off of consecutive higher highs and higher lows on significant time frames.
On the monthly, we also see that McDonalds is putting in a bullish engulfing candle. There are still a few weeks left in the month, but with the price already being in blue sky territory, and very little bearish momentum in sight, there does not appear to be anything in its price chart to hold it back from running all the way to its first fib extension at around $297.88 roughly, based on a retracement from its previous all time high in October 2020, down to the swing low in March 2020.
From the time of writing this that would be a 25% gain approximately.
Stop loss just below $231.91 and $221.29 would be wise (just incase it wicks). Be very cautious with a close below $221.29 as there is plenty of room to fall swiftly if volume/bids fail to come in.
Trading Idea - #McDonaldsBUY:
ENTRY: 235.10 USD
TARGET: 260.00 USD (+10%)
STOP: 221.50 USD
1.) The former downward trend (Oct.2020 - Mar.2021) was ended by a strong upward movement, which broke through the resistance level at 230 USD. Technically speaking, this means an upward movement continuation.
2.) The business of the world's largest fast food group has recovered. The reason for this are the many drive-in restaurants especially in the US, as well as the delivery service and the digital offers.
3.) For 2021, McDonalds is considered a profiteer of the step-by-step reopening in the pandemic.

MCDONALD'S Stock is looking bearish on Daily chartMy opinion on MCDONALD'S ( MCD )
Currently looking for short entries (put options) once price begins to trade lower than $213
Stock showed indication of a H&S pattern with the retest around $227.
I believe price will head to $206, and possible to $191-$178 , but we will see with time.
McDonald's steals Chick-fil-A sandwichMcDonalds new chicken sandwich has chicken sourced from the same source as Chick-fil-A. It's amazing. Game changer. McDonalds has had crappy "premium" chicken sandwiches for many many years. Long maccas. I just want 5 rep points to chat. It is a delicious sandwich. If I was blindfolded I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between McDonald's and Chick-fil-A.
Selling Burgers, Anyone ?Here's our overview on McDonald's Corporation's stocks for the upcoming days. As always we say, never trade stocks without first understanding the corporation itself, and without following the news. However, based on MacroForex's technical analysis, we have a broken trendline and our MA200 that is about to be broken which leads us into believing in shorting this one. Good luck and happy trading !

Mc Donalds Short-Term AnalysisConsidering it is my first Trading View post, I'd like to start by saying that I'm an experienced (5+ years) Options Trader purely based on Technical Analysis. I'll give my analysis on the price movement of a stock followed by a trade alert. Now as this is fairly for educational purposes, if you do decide to take a trade, it is your responsibility to manage your risk. If you do incur any losses, that is your responsibility too. (Not every trade is a winning trade and it is best to manage risk in order to reduce your losses and burn out your capital. Quite a common occurrence among options traders).
Now when I say short-term, I usually look at the 3-5 week price action. Considering MCD 's current price action, it is safe to say that we are trading well in this triangle pattern as you can see on the chart. Now, Friday validated that pattern, finding support at the $207 level.
On Tuesday, when the market resumes for a shorter trading week, we are going to look closely at the price action hoping to see the triangle intact, which if breaks, next support would be at the $206 level (Set your stop losses a little under this level).
Considering trend lines in the near past term, I see the stock riding up towards the $213-$214 mark. This could happen within the next 2 weeks. (Keep in mind, earnings are on Jan 28th, 2021). We could see a pre-earnings run up higher and probably a breakout back to the $220 levels.
As far as the indicators, the CCI is approaching a buy signal, however validation from the MACD is still to be confirmed.
The trade :
BTO Jun 18 2021 $220 Call
As I said, if the stocks goes below $206, you take the loss and move on, as it is very likely that if it breaks it will retest the 200 MA.
Now the expiry is 5 months out and you can choose to hold it into earnings or buy after, that is your choice. Or buy before and bank on any move prior.
Good luck trading!
McDonalds : enough for the decline?McDonalds shows some resilience on Tesla-triggered sell-off. It might have been pressured already hard enough.
If #MCD is taken Long at 208.50 or lower (mind the morning opening) target could be 235 and even 248. Not overnight but gradually. Stop could be placed at 202 as if it drops there the whole picture might be different.
McDonalds Sell PossibilityHello traders!
Mcdonalds is showing me a couple of different reversal signals after breaking yet failing to break and hold above a key resistance level.
Signal #1: Descending Triangle. I'm watching for a continuation of lower highs and if it breaks below the triangle we will have a new lower low.
Signal #2: It's approaching the 50EMA. I will be mindful to watch for a break at the market open on Monday. This will give me more confidence in the odds of a sell.
Signal #3: Losing momentum on the Money Flow indicator signals bullish weakness.
Signal #4: Price action is beginning to move below a falling VWAP. Breaking above the VWAP will be used as stop loss if I decide to enter.
I am leaning towards a sell back to the support level 210. Patience. I will only enter a sell after the break of the 50EMA for this trade. Let me know what you think below!

McDonald's (MCD) : BUY at $205 - Elliot WaveMcDonald's (MCD) seems like be forming its 5th wave, with SP500 looks like going to correct a bit to $3400 ish, I do expect a little dip of MCD to $203 - $207 level at 0.382 retracement level from its 3rd wave. When MCD dropped to $205 ish, it could be a good buying opportunity. However, keep an eye on SP500 and other major market news, US election has not officially "finished" yet since the Trump administration might take some actions later this year. Overall, with the short-term positive market momentum and MCD's good trend with beating the earnings, it could be going up after a small correction to $250 ish.
