McDonald’s Corporation stock ends the week caught between two conflicting forces. The short-term tape is repairing itself, yet the daily structure stays broken. At 274.48, MCD trades well below its 200-day EMA at 293.01. This is stabilisation, not an uptrend.

The main scenario, therefore, is neutral with a bearish medium-term overhang. Daily momentum has improved enough to keep sellers honest. It has not improved enough to reclaim trend leadership. Until the 50-day EMA at 275.09 is taken and held, rallies remain corrective in nature.

• Daily RSI at 53.48…
