I spent a lot of time over the past oversold period studying rules and guidelines for trading the (inevitable) bounce out of the selling pressure. The oversold period ended inconclusively<\/a>, but my rule for buying the ETF for Brazil, iShares MSCI Brazil Index Fund ETF (EWZ), definitively worked for a second time. When EWZ started to break down after the Brazilian government announced a “stock tax” in October, I recommended waiting for a 20% correction before buying EWZ<\/a>. That correction did not arrive until four months later, but it led to a healthy bounce in the shares. <\/p>\n

This last sell-off provided yet another opportunity, and I flagged the 20% correction rule in late May<\/a>. (I received slightly better pricing given I noticed the trigger a day late). At the time I cautioned that a downtrend seems underway in EWZ, and I see no reason to believe that EWZ will overcome looming overhead resistance in the near-term to break the on-going downtrend. With technicals reaching overbought conditions, I closed out the EWZ play on Thursday well below the 50 and 200DMAs. <\/p>\n

I remain “cautiously bullish” on the Brazilian story<\/a>, so I will continue to look for buyable dips. The worsening technicals suggest that shorting the rallies has become a viable strategy for the bears.<\/p>\n

The chart below shows the current technical set-up.<\/p>\n
