$MCD VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern) Analysis

вчера

Overview of the VCP Pattern in MCD
The Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP), originally named by Mark Minervini, is characterized by a series of price contractions accompanied by declining volume. While Minervini typically focuses on shorter timeframes with more pronounced contractions and volume reductions, the current setup in McDonald's Corporation (MCD) appears to align with the fundamental principles of the VCP.
Recent Volume and Price Action
One notable feature in MCD’s recent trading activity is the relationship between up-day and down-day volumes. Since the release of earnings, the volume on down days has been consistently lower than the volume on up days, suggesting underlying buying support during contractions.
Breakout Attempts and Trading Strategy
Throughout the past month, MCD has made several attempts to break out of its current consolidation range. To monitor potential breakout opportunities, an alert has been set on the upper downtrend line. If the stock manages to break above this trend line, plans are in place to initiate a position, with a stop order set just below the most recent low. This low is also situated near the 50-day moving average (DMA), which may act as a support level.
Risk Management and Reader Guidance
All readers are strongly encouraged to conduct their own analysis and adhere to their individual trading rules. It is crucial to recognize that all investments carry inherent risks. Making informed decisions is essential for prudent capital allocation and long-term success in trading.

Заметка

MCD broke above the upper downward-sloping trendline today, but it pulled back into the wedging pattern. It looks like a little more consolidation needs to take place, "if" it is going to break out. Patience is the key here. There may or may not be a trade - all TBD.
