Bovespa Consolidates At Key Support

After an important trendline break, the Bovespa is consolidating and further weakness would be most bearish.
Position: Hold
| The Bovespa Index ($BVSP) represents the Sao Paulo stock exchange in Brazil. On the weekly chart, the index suffered an important trendline break in April 2005 and never fully recovered. This trendline marked the lower boundary of a rising price channel, and the break ended an advance that began in May 2004. |

| Since breaking trendline support, the index consolidated over the last few months and the overall pattern looks like a head-and-shoulders reversal. These are major reversal patterns that require confirmation with a neckline support break. A move below the May 2005 low (23,675) would confirm this bearish reversal and call for a continuation of the March-May decline. |

| A triangle formed on the daily chart, and the subsequent breakout will provide an early directional clue. The index declined sharply in March/April and then consolidated. A move below the June low (24,000) would signal a continuation lower, while a move above the mid-June high (26,267) would be bullish. |
| Triangles are neutral patterns, and MACD confirms this neutrality. This momentum indicator is hovering around the zero line and is relatively flat. A break above the June high or below the July low can be used to confirm a break on the price chart. |
