MCD - MACD

McDonalds posted a low at previous significant support around 51.50 on the daily close. MACD histogram is showing divergence. Prices recently made a lower low, while the MACD posted a higher low.

MCD often holds up considerably better than the rest of the market. A good counter cyclical stock during the economic downturns.

Previous support is right at 57.50, I would expect MCD to head that direction in the next 20 days. I'm going to play a vertical call spread on it with April Calls.
