Leaving Copacabana and Flying Out of Brazil
- Posted by Greg Harmon

Rio is a playground for the world’s rich. Club’s, the beach, restaurants and great weather. And Copacabana beach is the crowning jewel. But the rest of the Brazilian economy has been a mess lately. With a heavy reliance on natural resources, it is not a surprise to anyone that the country fell into recession as commodity prices fell. If you have had enough of the Brazil bashing though, there is a chance to fly your portfolio out of the country and take some money with you. Brazil’s Copa Airlines, $CPA, may be ready to take off.
The stock of the airline dropped 45% over the last half of 2014 as oil prices were sinking. But since mid December it has bounced and recovered 23.6% of that drop. A secondary Fibonacci level. As it consolidates at 103, the technicals of the stock are starting to point higher. Take off may be at hand. The RSI is rising over the mid line and approaching 2 month highs. The MACD is also rising, supporting the upside. Should it continue over 103.50 the Measured Move higher would target a run up to 120. Pack you bags and keep an eye on this one.
