I don't know Chloe but I do know that Greece needs to pull out of the eur currency for its ultimate salvation. Great pain will ensue for the longer term good of the nation. It will impact upon the rest of euroland but that's just tough for ever having the silly idea of a common currency in the first place.

hey dave, in the 2step if the t/p(extention levels) are not reached and price action becomes weak an falls back to the (a)low of the abc does that make the 2step invalid or can it bounce off that low and resume towards the extention levels,or is the C(61.8-76.8) move the more important level that shouldnt be breached(invalid).ok thanks:)

I suppose it depends upon how the balance sheet has been valued !!!

I find it very sad that Greece is now having to sell hard assets. 3 historic ports already on the market.

From MNI FX Bullets:

UK PRESS: Talk about Greece reneging on debt commitments "has been very
damaging" and suggests "that investing in the euro area is unsafe,"
European Central Bank executive board Lorenzo Bini Smaghi says in an
interview with the Financial Times. Even for a country that flouted
eurozone fiscal rules for a decade, "a debt restructuring, or exiting
the euro, would be like the death penalty which we have abolished in
the European Union," he says in the report. Across the eurozone and
beyond "the destabilizing effect could be dramatic," he added. "Poor
developing countries have no assets, their income is low, and so they
become insolvent easily. If you look at the balance sheet of Greece, it
is not insolvent."

I have significant resistance at 4368 and then 4446/4453 cluster for any further upside.

Eur regains strength despite terrible news from Ireland: more ( much more) bailout money required. However eur net shorts surge. Possibly EURUSD will run up to 1.44 as USDx weakens further. CHF weaker, too.
But JPY rather strong. Could be China continues to buy Jap bonds.
