See figure 1 a monthly chart of the Brazilian Bovespa Index. Pink labeled price bars are negative divergence bars, and as I have shown many times before (click here and here for links), a cluster of negative divergence bars is a sign of slowing upside momentum. On the monthly charts, it is a reliable signal of a bull market top across multiple assets classes.
Figure 1. Brazilian Bovespa/ monthly
A monthly close below 64,500, which is the low of the negative divergence bar, would be very bearish for the Brazilian Bovespa, and essentially this would change the "call" from "dead money" to bear market.
Figure 2 is a daily chart of the i-Shares MSCI Brazil Index Fund (symbol: EWZ). First note the series of lower highs (i.e., down red arrows). While the S&P500 was making higher highs, the EWZ was making lower highs. This is not what you want to see from the market that represents one of the strongest economies in the world. Support comes in at the $63-65 level as shown by the key pivot points. A definitive close below these levels will likely see prices make a deeper and more significant pull back to the $50 level. This would represent a 50% haircut from the highs.
Figure 2. EWZ/ daily
For now, if the sell off continues beyond the "typical" 1 day period, I would look for a bounce at the first level of support. This is a little less than 10% away.

Guy: LHB and BZQ--your thoughts, please? They seem to be on the cusp of a big "buy" signal...
Not enough data on these two to make a definitive statement plus these are leveraged products that will not necessarily work --you might get the "call" right but in the end not make money so be careful with these
On the other hand, most of this emerging market stuff will move with the general market/ SP500; I still stand by what I wrote about the SP500 earlier in the year--trades in a range, therefore important to buy at the lows and sell at the highs. I don't believe we are on the cusp of any big market movements like we saw in Oct, 2007 or March, 2009
That could change, however, and I understand where and how it would be differnet but the markets aren't at that point yet--far from it
Thanks a lot.
