McDonald's: In the Trend Channel (TradingView)
|
|
|
McDonald's is entering another phase of consolidation, with no clear trend emerging for now. We've introduced a pink trend channel that closely tracks the development of the ongoing blue five-wave sequence. At this stage, price appears to be moving through wave (v) of this pattern, which should also complete the magenta wave . Afterward, the correction of wave is pending before the stock is expected to move into impulse wave . This next move should provide enough upward momentum to push price above the resistance at $326.32. However, if the stock decisively breaks below the support at $283.47, an alternative scenario may come into play. In that case, a pullback toward the low of the green wave alt. would be likely (probability: 35%).

$MCD VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern) Analysis (TradingView)
|
|
|
Overview of the VCP Pattern in MCD
The Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP), originally named by Mark Minervini, is characterized by a series of price contractions accompanied by declining volume. While Minervini typically focuses on shorter timeframes with more pronounced contractions and volume reductions, the current setup in McDonald's Corporation (MCD) appears to align with the fundamental principles of the VCP.
Recent Volume and Price Action
One notable feature in MCD's recent trading activity is the relationship between up-day and down-day volumes. Since the release of earnings, the volume on down days has been consistently lower than the volume on up days, suggesting underlying buying support during contractions.
Breakout Attempts and Trading Strategy
Throughout the past month, MCD has made several attempts to break out of its current consolidation range. To monitor potential breakout opportunities, an alert has been set on the upper downtrend line. If the stock manages to break above this trend

McDonald's: Rally Interrupted, but Uptrend Remains Intact (TradingView)
|
|
|
McDonald's shares initially saw a modest decline, but recent quotes indicate renewed attempts to soon establish the high of magenta wave . Once this phase concludes, we anticipate a moderate pullback as wave unfolds, followed by wave gaining enough momentum to push price above the $326.32 resistance level. However, if support at $283.47 is decisively breached, our alternative scenario will come into play. We currently assign a 37% probability to this outcome, in which the stock would likely move toward a new low of green wave alt. .

McDonald's stock monthly demand imbalance playing out (TradingView)

McDonald's (MCD): Monthly Demand Level Still in Control
McDonald's stock is currently respecting a monthly demand level at $294, which remains firmly in control. That's a key point — the monthly timeframe is a much larger and more powerful structure than anything happening in the weekly or daily charts.
What I'm seeing now is a new bullish price action pattern forming in the smaller timeframes (weekly and daily), meaning buyers are stepping back in from that institutional zone. That gives me confirmation that demand is in control and that McDonald's remains one of the strongest bullish stocks in the consumer sector.
A monthly demand level in control means that big money — institutions and funds — are accumulating. Retail traders might think it's “too expensive” at $290+, but professional traders know that the presence of a monthly imbalance means there's still room for price expansion to the upside.
This is where patience pays. The art of waiting for the price to return to that imbalance and observing how
