MCD Elliott Wave technical analysis – Daily chart

On the daily chart, McDonald’s is progressing through Wave 1 of a new impulsive move. The focus is on the completion of this wave, with Minor Group 1 (MG1) at $300 serving as the primary upside target. This level could potentially mark the top of Wave 1 as we approach a significant psychological and technical resistance level.

Traders should watch for any signs of exhaustion as the price nears $300, indicating a potential corrective phase could begin once Wave 1 tops out.

The shorter-term view supports an ongoing bullish move, with price pushing toward the $300 target. Once Wave (v)completes, traders should anticipate the possibility of a correction, marking the end of Wave 1.
