MCD going upIF charts break resistance level and turns it into new support level. Than there is the level for entry and my prediction(My Opinion) is that the chart will go up to the next previous high formed as illustrated in the analysis.
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
MCD LongExpecting a pump on earnings and rally afterward since the price is in weekly support, MACD has a divergence and there is 3 waves down from the top.
Mcdonald Trading dairy: ready to the moon?As we mentioned 2 days before, Mcdonald has formed a trend reversal pattern after breaking above the consolidation area.
I will set My first target resistance level at $277, which shares the similar level with previous highs and the long-term downtrend line.
McDonald's Share Price Rises Despite Disappointing ReportMcDonald's Share Price Rises Despite Disappointing Report
On Monday, before the start of regular trading, McDonald's reported its second-quarter results:
→ Earnings per share: actual = $2.97, expected = $3.07;
→ Gross revenue: actual = $6.49 billion, expected = $6.62 billion;
→ Net profit for the quarter was $2.02 billion, 12% less than the previous year.
The company's management notes that consumers are limiting spending. CEO Chris Kempczinski mentioned that customers are buying fewer items per visit or opting for cheaper products. Many people prefer dining at home, a trend consistent across various regions of the world.
Nonetheless, McDonald's share price rose by 3.7% on Monday's trading, making it the leader of the day among Dow Jones stocks. Investors were encouraged by the following:
→ McDonald's maintains its overall forecast for new stores, capital expenditures, and operating margin for the year, whereas, for example, the Domino's Pizza chain announced it would reduce the number of new openings worldwide;
→ McDonald's is seeking ways to boost sales, such as the $5 combo meal. Initially launched for just a month, this promotion has been extended through the end of summer.
From a technical analysis perspective, McDonald's shares present concerns:
→ The upward trend (shown in blue), which had been in place for many months, has been broken – the price forcefully breached the lower boundary in May;
→ However, bulls may find hope in the fact that when the price dropped below the 2023 low of around $246 in mid-July, no further bearish momentum followed – a false bearish breakout of an important extremum formed on the chart.
But how optimistic can the prospects be?
Jefferies analysts maintain a "buy" rating for McDonald's shares, though they have lowered the target price from $320.00 to $310.00.
A significant obstacle to the rise in MCD share price is the resistance block formed by the lower boundary of the channel (as former support) and the $265 level.

McDonald's Earnings Miss For the First Time Since 2020McDonald's second-quarter earnings report fell short of analysts' expectations as higher prices contributed to a decline in foot traffic and comparable store sales. Despite efforts to boost sales with promotions like the "$5 Meal Deal," the fast food giant faced challenges in maintaining revenue and profitability.
Key Takeaways:
- Revenue and Profits: McDonald's reported $6.49 billion in total revenue for Q2, nearly identical to the same period in 2023, but fell short of the $6.63 billion projected by analysts. Net income dropped 12% year-over-year to $2.02 billion, missing expectations of $2.24 billion.
- Comparable Sales Decline: Global comparable sales fell 1% from last year, with U.S. locations experiencing a drop in foot traffic due to higher prices. Sales decreases in France and China offset improvements in Japan and Latin America.
- Impact of Promotions: The recent "$5 Meal Deal" promotion provided a late-quarter boost, though its full impact will be more evident in the third quarter.
Detailed Analysis:
Revenue and Profit Performance
In the second quarter of 2024, McDonald's revenue remained flat at $6.49 billion compared to the same period in 2023. Analysts had anticipated a growth in revenue to $6.63 billion, but the reality fell short. This stagnation in revenue was accompanied by a notable decline in net income, which dropped 12% year-over-year to $2.02 billion, compared to analysts' expectations of $2.24 billion.
Comparable Sales and Foot Traffic
The global comparable sales decline of 1% highlighted the challenges McDonald's faced in maintaining customer engagement amid rising prices. In the U.S., higher menu prices led to reduced foot traffic, contributing to a 0.7% decline in same-store sales. Internationally, sales fell by 1.1%, driven by weaknesses in markets like France and China, which overshadowed gains in Japan and Latin America.
Promotional Efforts and Market Response
In response to the declining sales, McDonald's launched the "$5 Meal Deal" promotion in an effort to attract price-sensitive customers. While this promotion only impacted the final days of the second quarter, it is expected to have a more significant effect on third-quarter earnings. Early reports suggest that the promotion has been successful, potentially continuing into August to sustain momentum.
McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski emphasized the company's commitment to delivering "reliable, everyday value" and accelerating growth drivers such as chicken and loyalty programs. Despite these efforts, the broader economic environment and consumer price sensitivity have posed substantial challenges.
Market Reaction
Shares of McDonald's have experienced a 15% decline in value so far this year. However, the stock showed a slight recovery, up 3.77% in Monday's trading session following the earnings announcement. This reflects a cautious optimism among investors that the company's strategic initiatives may eventually pay off. The stock has a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 57.83, indicating potential for further growth. Adding to the potential growth is the bullish flag pattern depicted on the chart.
Conclusion
McDonald's second-quarter performance underscores the difficulties faced by the fast food industry amid rising prices and shifting consumer behaviors. While the "$5 Meal Deal" and other strategic initiatives show promise, the company must navigate a complex landscape to regain growth and profitability.

McDonald's Elliott WaveHello friends
In McDonald's stock, we see the formation of a 5-wave impulse pattern that has been completed. These 5 waves can be considered as wave A or 1. Now, with the break of the trend line at the end of wave 5 and the retreat towards it, we expect the price to rise to the $262 range. This increase can occur in the dominance of a zigzag or any corrective pattern. Stop loss can also be considered at 245 which is an important support.
The second target of the $280 range can be considered.
Be successful and profitable.

MCD time for CALLS again we now have a nice daily RSI positive non confirmation I will now buy 260 calls looking for a rally of 11 to 15 $
MCD Short IdeaMCD recently put in a double top near ATH and had a big rejection. It also broke below a major trendline dating back several years. For shorter term, I'm watching this descending trendline and horizontal resistance for a short entry.
MCD correction doneI expect MCD to hit $269 by 7/19. $269.63 is the .382 retrace level off the 302 high and 249.38 low. Show's a double bottom with fib timing on the daily. I am in the 9/20 $260 calls for $7. other targets above: 275/291/316
MCD, 200 sma on the weekly BIG Support!! One could buy shares long term, or put sales or bull put spreads *once / if* MCD gets down into the $244 price zone.
Gonna be super boring. But overall, likely profitable. MCD hasn't hit the 200 sma(on adjusted for dividends) chart since covid. When it bounced very hard.
