Catalysts

  • MCD is in a confirmed downtrend — price below both the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, with the 50-day falling faster than the 200-day (widening death cross).
  • Momentum has turned negative again after a brief mid-summer bounce. Both RSI (42.9) and MACD (-2.53 and worsening) point to renewed selling pressure.
  • Volume confirms distribution — above-average turnover on down days suggests institutional selling, not just retail noise.

Risks

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