$MCD $WEN Given that McDonald’s did well, means Wendy’s is likely to come in stronger too and the probability of a rejection of the $7.35 offer and a revised offer for Wendy’s just got significantly higher.

$MCD NOV20 250C · still actionable Zone: $240.97 to $244.37 Invalidation: close under $234.23 Objectives: $253.16, then $275.26 The math: up 4.3% to the first objective and 13.4% to the second, against 3.5% risk on the invalidation, better than 3 to 1 to the second Dear friend, picture a big old ship that took on water for months and finally stopped sinking. That is this swing setup in plain terms. McDonald's fell to $229.20 on October 5 and has climbed since, up 3.16 percent in five days, holding today's low at $240.01 while earnings on November 4 sit just ahead like a lighthouse that can pull attention back in. What that means for you is simple. The selling looks tired above that October low, and there is open room back toward $253.16 first and the higher ground above it, while a close under $234.23 would say the bounce has failed and you step aside. P.S. Watch $245.85. That was the high on October 16, and a close over it would show buyers are willing to pay up again, not just defend the low.

$MCD U.S. comps are still negative. The value menu may be working, but it also tells you how stretched the customer is.

$MCD market doesn't care, McDonalds is cash flow POSITIVE. When companies like Google are consecutively cash flow negative, McDonalds looks like a beacon of shining hope.

$MCD NOV20 275C · still actionable Zone: $267.14 to $270.90 Invalidation: close under $261.00 Objectives: $285, then $301 The math: up 5.9% to the first objective and 11.9% to the second, against 3.0% risk on the invalidation, about 4 to 1 to the second. I like this swing because adjusted earnings beat at $3.57 against a $3.38 estimate, even with revenue light at $7.16 billion against a $7.28 billion estimate. The premarket move to about $269 shows buyers reacting to the report, not waiting for the open. You are buying strength after the report is out, with a clear line at $261 where the read is wrong. The zone is tight and the invalidation is clear, so the risk is defined before the regular session starts.

$MCD look at this regard. Yes I spelled it on purpose. Sitting in the corner by himself with his happy meal…. Unfazed by the storm. Hemingway said it best. How I’ve longed for safe harbor. $QQQ

$MCD Very attractive setup in my playbook. Reclaiming HTF breakdown level after finding HTF demand. Volume very supportive. LTF/HTF Structure alignment (LTF Cup & selling trendline). Clear trade Entry/TP/Stop on the $246 retest.
