McDonald’s has trended lower since late October, but now may be attempting a breakout.
This chart shows the declining trendline in place since October 23 and the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). MCD pushed above both -- for the first time since the recent slide began.
Next, the recent low on January 4 was higher than the December low. This has created a potential inverse head-and-shoulders pattern.
Fundamentally, the hamburger chain has been adapting the new normal with major digital upgrades. It tried to rally after results beat estimates on November 9, but couldn’t overcome the bearish momentum at the time. (That’s also when coronavirus cases were starting to climb again.) However, MACD has turned positive since then.
