Furthermore, McDonald’s shares slipped more than 5% after its earnings fell short of estimates for the first time in two years.

Dow Jones has now registered the third lower high since making the record high of 27398.7 in July. The price action threatens to move lower and close the October 11 gap around the 26500 mark. On the upside, the down-slipping trend line that connects lower highs comes near the 27200 handle.
