After rebounding convincingly from the 30 level, the iShares Brazil ETF (EWZ) is overbought for the first time this year. Over the past 9+ months, the combination of a drop from overbought territory (on the RSI) and a short-term peak in the Rate of Change (ROC) has proven to be a favorable place to get short or tighten stops on existing long positions.
What would make me think this EWZ rally was different this time?
One potential x-factor would be EWZ’s ability to hold above the 50 day MA. That would show a change in character and could help the iShares Brazil ETF carve out a bottom. Time will tell.

Also, keep an eye on the Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) as it has been showing relative strength of late. Trade safe.
