EWZ: Make Samba Great AgainBolsonaro.
The hated man. But who cares?
Things are looking better in Brazil. Flip-flop sales are up due to hot summer across the globe.
Drastic reduction in homicide over the last year makes it safer for the population to attend to their daily chores. Price of oil is going up, and soft commodities are gonna start to shine after a long slug.
We're entering into trend reversal zone, let's call it the Samba-zone.

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?
$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.

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.
