South Africa (EZA) a good Precious Metals play

Long
AMEX:EZA   iShares MSCI South Africa Index Fund
Precious metals (PM) have really struggled this week, with the following weekly movement in USD:

Gold GOLD -5.65%
Silver SILVER -7.17%
Platinum PLATINUM -7.2%
Palladium PALLADIUM -8.23%

All these PM’s seems to be heavily oversold over the shorter-term, which could see a bit of a recovery over the next week or two. Why is this important? Currently 24% of EZA consists of PM’s, which was the main reason for the recent pullback in the ETF. EZA finds itself at a strong support level and very close to EXTREME OVERSOLD levels according to its 14-day RSI. Should $48.50 not hold up, my stop loss would be at the 200-day Moving Average (EMA). This currently is $46.86. Should we see a bounce off the current levels, could see EZA test the 50-day EMA at 51.29 resistance, with a break and close above these levels, most probably bringing back new 12-month highs. I am somewhat worried about the negative recent momentum and will monitor closely
