“Bah Da Dat Dah Daaaah I’m Loving It!” Yep, McDonalds and i think MCD is looking amazing right here.
The chart above (and linked) is a 2 year 6 month weekly chart of McDonald’s. McDonald’s is a well diversified multinational with an efficient business model and awesome breakfast menu. 😉
THIS is how I want an investment to look. Steady upward movement with consistent corrections and more importantly consistent recoveries after each correction.
Looking at the chart linked in the thumbnail i think MCD has a lot going on and the best way is to bullet it out:
- Positive divergence on the RSI. Even while the price has taken some hits the RSI has stayed in an upward trend and is headed further North.
- The chart has formed a beautiful W pattern starting around December. This is bullish.
- MACD JUST had a bullish cross from a nice bottoming/low point. It is a bit high on the positive side of the chart, but it looks like this is where MCD likes to trade and really, how can you NOT be on the + side of the chart when the stock’s performance has been kicking so much ass continually.
- Back to the W pattern… it’s posed for a breakout!
- Horizontal STO trends above the 80 mark have historically predicted the main up trends from start to finish. Check out the three blocks i outlined in dashed lines. Looks like STO is setting up to bust above 80 and hang out for another ride.
This is a nice investment and I would buy on a cross above $60. Stop loss @ around $56 just for safety. Could also add on a trailing stop loss.
