Catalysts

  • Short-term momentum has turned positive — RSI crossed above 50 and MACD has broken above zero, supporting the recent bounce from the ~$268 lows.
  • The 50-day SMA at ~$286.56 is the nearest resistance. A clean close above this level would be a meaningful technical victory for bulls.
  • The 200-day SMA ($302) is the next major hurdle. Until MCD reclaims it, the broader trend remains bearish.

Risks

  • Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
