Brazilian ShortsHere's an idea for next week.... EWZ pattern looks similar to the last top. EWZ tends to trade with gold (though Brazil isn't even that big of a producer.) Looks toppy, just like gold. Will look at this Monday. EWZ options have small spread and good liquidity.Shortby hungry_hippoUpdated 3
$EWZ Good Short Strangle Opportunity$EWZ has pretty good pricing in its OTM options right now, and the August weeklies in particular. The 38/45.5 Strangle priced around 1.20 looks pretty decent right now and covers about a 1 standard deviation move. Worth a shot.by BpowersCLT2

EWZ: Viking is back in townI've been working for 5 hours to estimate the trend turns for the next six months. To gain the knowledge to do those five hours are countless. Now, it will not be 100 % accurate in timing. I still have a lot of cycle work to be completed to fine-tune. But it will be quite accurate as I have gone back in time and checked out what EWZ has done in the past. And since the past tells us about the future as history repeats, confidence level is high. Please allow a day or two on each side of the green bars. Price is a different story. I have no clue how to deal with that. But its better to know when price can turn than how high it can go, if you catch my drift?Longby UnknownUnicorn540299Updated 1

$EWZ $BVSP $IBOV Brazilian Stocks Under PressureWith market volatility back in the global markets with a vengeance, and the US Dollar remaining strong, one EM equity market that has been hit particularly hard this year has been the Brazilian Stocks (EWZ). Sluggish growth forecasts, combined with waning support for the Brazilian President, has sent Brazilian Stocks to its lowest level of the year so far, down -2.94%. The sharp declines have also been fueled by uncertainty over the US-China trade talks on a macro level. The combination of these two forces, the external macro headwinds and weak domestic economy, have both been a perfect storm for the under-performance of Brazilian stocks in 2019 thus far. Furthermore, on a technical basis, the EWZ continues to show deterioration within the equity market, with the 50-day EMA acting as a strong resistance March 2019 and the price action failing to break above since then. We believe that is these headwinds continue, there will be more downside for Brazilian stocks to come. We caution investors against this equity market.Shortby EconomicsGlobal1

EWZ MeltdownEconomic reform isn't going as well as hoped, the Brazilian bubble is popping. Note that their market hit ATH, it looks like a double top due to currency exchange rates. EWW whipsawed on it's way down last summer, expecting the same here. Short any pops up, watch both iBov and USD/BRL exchange rates.Shortby hungry_hippoUpdated 4

Brasil scenariosScenario 1: Scenario 1 would be S-H-S tacking into account the real movement which will probably go to 3.90/3.95 y n short run and if there's no agreement between US-China it will hav further pressure and will go to circa 4.20 again in order to complete a new S-H-S in the long cycle. After that will follow a commodities super cycle. Scenario 2: Scenario 2 will b a consequence of a trade deal between US-China which will lead EM's to new high and a super cycle thanks to China's yuan appreciation. I will go for Scenario 1 Trade safe! Shortby showerreport1
UPDATE: Brazil (EWZ) is now up 48%, reduce RISKLast July I put out a video suggesting that Brazil was a great opportunity to allocate capital (linked below). At the time the business cycle had turned from contraction to expansion and from a technical standpoint, we were sitting on support. Today, +48.6% higher the risk is rising, the cycle is still relatively strong but our technicals are suggesting we reduce risk here. 05:34by UnknownUnicorn2664863
