McDonald's Stock Tests 52-Week Lows Amid Technical Pressure
McDonald's Corporation stock has been experiencing mounting technical pressure as shares test fresh 52-week lows near $252.53. The daily chart confirms a bearish regime with price below every major moving average, including the EMA20 ($261.42), EMA50 ($267.65), and EMA200 at $286.16.
The momentum indicators on the daily chart also point to a bearish trend, with the MACD histogram expanding in negative territory at -1.21. The RSI14 is near oversold territory but has not confirmed an exhaustion bottom.
On the 1H timeframe, there's some evidence of short-term stabilization, but it's a subtle hint and doesn't contradict the daily bearish thesis. The hourly chart shows price compressed near the lower Bollinger Band, which often precedes either a bounce attempt or continuation lower.
