Brazil Regime
The Brazil Regime is the aggregate reading of Brazil's prevailing market state over a defined window.
What it is
Every morning an allocator asks one question before any other: what terrain is this today? The Brazil Regime answers it — defensive, neutral, or risk-seeking — by reading Brazil's market as a whole, not indicator by indicator.
It is a bulletin on the terrain, not a move. It tells you whether the ground is firm, unstable, or in a storm; where you walk is still the reader's decision.
And the aggregate never appears alone: it always comes with the breakdown of what is weighing inside it — no black box. Underneath sits a 0–100 scale that measures intensity, but what counts in the reading is the state.
Why it exists
Isolated indicators contradict each other constantly. One rises, another falls, each telling a different story. Capital, though, does not operate in pieces — it operates in the whole environment at once.
The regime gathers those signals into a single reading. It is the anchor: without knowing which terrain you stand on, any isolated indicator loses its reference.
How to read it
Three states, with the nuance living between them. Below roughly 30, capital protects itself; above 70, it takes risk; in the middle, indecision — and that is exactly where the reading demands the most attention.
What it does not mean
It is not a recommendation. A defensive regime does not say "sell"; a risk-seeking regime does not say "buy". The regime is the terrain; the decision belongs to the reader, the allocator, the licensed professional.
And it is not a forecast. The regime describes what is happening now; a forecast assigns certainty to what has not yet happened. They are different things.
Limits
The comparison window begins in 2000. Before that, hyperinflation distorts any reading — we prefer an honest history to a long one.
The regime also works with states, not a fine number: admitting a band of uncertainty is more honest than feigning point precision. In thin or very turbulent markets, the reading loses sharpness and is best treated with caution.
An example
On a defensive morning, the reading would sound like this: income-linked sectors and the economic backdrop under stress; across markets, money pulled back, favoring what protects over what risks. Under these conditions, capital stays contained.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Brazil Regime? It is the reading of Brazil's market as a whole — defensive, neutral, or risk-seeking. It is the day's "terrain": it describes the environment, it does not recommend moves.
Does the regime tell me to buy or sell? No. It describes the terrain, not the move. A defensive regime does not mean "sell"; a risk-seeking regime does not mean "buy". The decision is the reader's.
Is the regime the same as a forecast? No. The regime describes what is happening now; a forecast assigns certainty to what has not yet happened. They are different operations.
How far back does the Radar compare? The window begins in 2000 — before that, hyperinflation distorts any historical comparison.
