Our view last week
McDonald's slips another 1.1%, though the pace is easing from last week's drop. Price is still anchored to the double bottom in the 263 area, which has already delivered a 6% rebound, while sellers stay only slightly ahead on the last bar. Money flow remains mildly positive after turning two weeks ago. Quarterly earnings land this week, and volatility could pick up.
This week's summary
McDonald's closes the week with a 2.2% rebound and the weekly RSI climbs back above 38, edging away from oversold. The picture still shows distribution underway, but seller pressure is fading: the daily chart even produced a strong bullish engulfing candle. Money flow, though, turns negative again after two weeks above zero. Earnings land Thursday, August 4: volatility in McDonald's stock could pick up fast.
