"The financial volume (of the Greek package) is 130 billion euros and debt-to-GDP (will be) 121 percent. Now it's down to work on the statement," one official involved in the negotiations told Reuters.

    • I don't understand the cause for jubilation just because their got extended repayment terms on their global charge card. What is the point if there is insufficient income to cover the old debt let alone the new debt? Were this a company rather than a country their stock would be sold off.

      Greece is not saved completely buddy. You can see 1.2 for sure. May be delayed by sometime because of the hopium. One day inevitable Greek default will be known. We will see that day.

    • Right I'm out for now ,will sit back and keep an eye on the 133.20 mark ,if it gets breached ,we should expect further upward movement in Euro/London session,I know that this should have been priced in,but there seems to be a lot of hope out there and that could be about enough to get this pair to break higher. An headline with the word Portugal now might be the next big thing to put some brakes on this pair, but I am biased towards the upside if 133.20 is breached.

    • This is a "trap rally" folks. The news does not support the rally at all but opposite. Euro should goes down according to this "kicking the can down the road" the snow ball now is bigger and bigger with Portugal, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Belgium and a whole bunch of them in line for the same treatment. The problem was not solved but more complicate. This is a trap or someone must be real real stupid to support euro rally. The value of euro should be below parity after this. Why up? Stupid move definitely manipulated by dirty hands.

      yes, definely a trap, since you only need to remember what happened after ECB completed the bond swap...the eu went down after a spike up reaching 1.32...and stopped only at 1.2997...and same is going to happen before european market opens

      No one is stupid here buddy, just hopefuls trying to make a buck by analyzing technicals and fundamentals. Kicking the can down the road as you put it is the new way of the markets , everyone is doing it, Europe is doing it, US is doing it ,Japan has been doing it for god knows how long and soon everyone will follow, its a question of who can kick it further now.

      Ok, let me ask you the stupid question... why should it go down NOW as opposed to three of the last five weeks? It went up from 1.2635 to almost 1.3350... what makes you think all of a sudden traders are going to not have shit for brains when this news comes out? It should have never made it higher than 1.2900.

    • So, here is the story.
      1. Private investors bought Greece bonds at 20% face value.
      2. Greece can't provide 100% value back to the investors.
      3. EBC and IMF issues 170B of new Euro and called it bailout, gave it to Greece
      4. Now Greece can give money back to private investors
      5. Greeks left holding the bag
      6. Eurozone still facing a hole size of 170BE

      Yeah, problem is solved for sure. Everything is just peachy for Europe.

      because during the hottest greek rumours, the EUR has been kept strong by central banks to make it look like investors show confidence in the ez, and to avoid the EUR going down the hill(which in turn would look like investors walking away from EUR)...since the deal seem to have been done, there is no more need to manipulate the market like before...sounds simple right?

      I'm not the one who said it should go up. I was pointing out what is the difference NOW (hey point here... emphasis on NOW (thats why I capitalized it in the first place) as opposed to the last few weeks when it was climbing. I know the Eur is fvcked and so does anyone else but yet it keeps going up on todays news as well as all the stupid ass rumors the last few weeks. it is a shame that a little piss ant country like Greece can hold the markets of the world hostage for so long. it has been a damn joke for the last six months and more than likely will continue to.

      No, since the deal has been done, the manipulation should stop for a while now and the market will find back to its normal value by around 1.29 maybe a bit lower this time...it can take 4-5 bars on the 4H chart until the downside move strengthens, to find its real market value

      I can relate to this statement. The markets have been so influenced by headlines that it is exhausted with this. Also the Critical Success Factor for this deal to succeed is, as it says, very critical..... So whether there is enough faith for strengthening the EUR.......i have my doubts.

      dont be optimistic the whole drama deal result is a spike of only 100 pips in eurousd and half or less that number of pips in other pairs which shows that all fantasies of 300-500 pips spike after deal would be done is nonsense
      now back to realistic trading enjoy shorting at each spike to 1.3300 bye bye bulls and manipulators story had finished here

    • I still believe 26th Oct data will be realised very soon Had expected realistic 200 pips pop North with the agreement, to at least secure 1.33, but what only 100 pips and it's within range, very much contained with 1.33, I'm still bear. But saying that, watch where you are shorting or longing. Risk on factor is dminishing.

      Y it took them to early morning to agree the deal - there is only one possible reason, Asian market is usually quiet. The higher they spike eur, the more trouble they are going to find themselves in, in devaluing the euro to sustain Greece bottomless pit. I'm seeing reality bites in. If no more BULL-shit from Euro, we are still very hitting downwards.

      BUY HOPE SELL TRUTH.

    • Well if the rumor of central asian banks buying at 1.3232 is true, we will get some risk on North to test 1.33 again before the market starts to bite in.

      1.26.......don't dream that low, lets break 1.3 first followed by 1.288. But I would advise you to go with the market trend and not your dream.

      For me, though I'm still bear, I buy and sell that's the ONLY way to profit.

    • YEAH they kept manipulating the eurousd & others price till the end, took it down to 1.3190 to be ready for a contained spike when bailout news is released and that's what happened
      a remark here that the spike was under 70 pips first candle(1.3259) market went after down to 1.3235 to continue later a nearly normal to power up move to 1.3292
      the whole move show no real bulls or sure decision to let euro break madly upper levels it might happen later on but normally with upward move not spikes anymore
      for now euro remain daily bullish until 1.3190 is broke and later looking at 1.3150, 1.3100 to confirm down move to 1.30 again, by that time will see what might happen from there

      Do I trust technical???? I only use them as reference nothing more than just reference. News is the one that is currency movement, technical - well to me technical works best and most accurate during Christmas period Other than that, it's for reference for me. Good luck!!!

The devil is int the detail- the deal forces psi lossess to 53% which equates to more than 70% in write downs for bond holders bondholders will be forced to voluntary write down debt triggering CDs. The CDs market is about to explode. The reason why markets are down after the news. Eu/us at 1.15 by 2012.

    • I read about the Greek PSI agreement. Nobody says anything to a deal with private lenders. They decided the haircut of 53%, but with whom they agreed? Do not forget that IIF is only a part of private investors and not 75% as have an understanding. This means that Greece will have to go to CAC (collective action clauses), and if that happens we will have trigger the credit default swaps on March 20. All rating agencies will declare default if we have CAC

If you are really into technical trading - I seriously urge you to follow those blokes from fxtimes, lmao - if they have really using real money to trade using their technical analysis!!!

      This morning wasn't difficult to trade, sell, buy (buy rumor) and BIG sell. Typical after a big day event. I'm still sticking to my 26th Oct data, it's darn accurate so far and is coming true.

      Euro is still over valued.

      BTW, I changed by 178 pips, just hit 200pips that's it for toda That's technical for you

      Confused ? You went long from 1.320, to the very top of the swing high at 1.3226 at the time of your post (26 pips), then you went short and that position is open you said, yet price moved against you on that open position and is now at 42 ??

      So you actually did 26pips, which at this point you have lost ?

    • At this mid ranges, it's too dangerous to trade, so I tend to locked in SL at 0 (for long only and short I hold a bit wider with SL) after it crosses the pick. No one has a working crystal ball, me niether. So either I scalp at this ranges with very very tight SL, ie 0, win I win lose I lose nothing Hope it make sense. That's how I trade. I didn't make that last 50 pips, only 26 pips - lost patience with the sideway trend for 2hours after longing that it would hit from 1.32 to 1.325. Well it hit 1.3245 after 3 hours.......... You get me? I'm not right all the time, otherwise I'm God and patience is something I am still learning to have - becos of patience it cost me pips somethime.

      I'm still bearish and think the NY, aka their manipulator, is there to bring it up only to take it down for a decent 100pips to 1.3145. That is IF I am right, otherwise I'm wrong

      But again, that doesn't mean I only sell

Only choice left for the Greeks - start a revolution like the French did long ago, send their politicians to the gallow and have their heads rowing down - then change their national anthem and give EUro the 2 fingers - up yours Euro and default

Screwed few times by ECB). Will the asian market take it out tonight down instead? who knows. Will the Chinese government side US or Europe side........i really don't know but one thing for sure I know their central bank BUY in order to SELL, but the Chinese still have a lot of Euro reserves stucked here in Europe.

      Hope the asian market take it down - but not pinning much hope in that, they trade between 10-40pips for a 7hour period............

      Good for me, it gives a 50/50 chance it will go either way, will it break 1.3322, there is a chance but slim. So where will it go, think you got the answer.

    • Good that you didn't take moi 0.1 cent opinion, correct me if I'm wrong but may you refresh me when did I told you to cut your long, was it yesterday?

      I still stick by my 26th Oct data for the moment. Economy wise, I cannot see any reason that will justify further rally, that doesn't mean I won't buy. Rather then thinking 1.32 is safe, it's far from being safe. How many hits have we got above 1.328, 2 and how many hits have we got around 1.32, 5. The score is there to see. Also if you have been observant enough, which I'm sure you have - a head shoulder had just formed and a triangle as well! There will be a big one coming very soon.

      This morning I was expecting only to scalp 10 pips at 1.3262 and the poor parasite couldn't even get through 1.3262 and instead drop near 50pips - that's a good profit for me for a narrow range morning.

      There might be another rush upwards, but seriously I do not know but my tech isn't toooo bad that it will say 1.34. The market simply lack lustre to risk on. Buy HOPE, sell TRUTH. HOPE gone, so what's next? Just be careful where you enter and exit, remember to take TP and don't dream of impossible values.

      But again I'm not shouting short now, I buy, sell, buy and sell. Following only 1 direction trend only gives me 50% chance of winning and I'm not that duff, otherwise won't have netted the 186pips yesterday and only damn 50pips today so far.

      Good luck to your trading.

      Glad I didn;t take your advise Jona (not that I ever trade on someones advise) when you said I should cut my long loose, it held 319 and I held my long.

      EUR refused to drop into the 1.3220 down channel today, it tried several times but technically rejected the down channel ... we remain within the up channel.

    • Reuters insider news just posted the deal with Greece was a "spam" or scam to make the French, Germany & US election looks good - how's that for a news! We all know that all along but no politicians has the balls to say so until now, lmao.

      I'm just waiting for this head/shoulder and triangle to be broken, but I''m not pinning much hope towards north, so what will one bet on? Just shorted at 1.3252 (based on the triangle line, I might be jolly well wrong in this triangle) to take a micky bet at the triangle, this is not base on tech nor intuition, it's just pure gamble SL 0, let's see how far this baby will go.

    • EUR/USD: Stops down through 1.3180 and 1.3165. Some bids around 1.3215/20 from Asian sovereigns in front. Offers 1.3290/00 ahead of a 1.3300 barrier, decent buy stops up through 1.3325

      Let's see when this triangle and head/shoulder will be broken...........may the stronger camp win. In the meantime, I'll take my free pips for all the shapes formed

      If the US housing doesn't break the triangle, I'll wait for tomorrow's unemployment.........

    • For this week alone, GBP had fallen more than Euro - this is quirky though not difficult to explain why.

      Just buyers at support that's all, it must be considered good value. Most is program trading anyway. We are ranging, which is what markets do most of the time and much program trading nowadays is mean reversion / value area trading..

    • It does feels that way sometimes when holding positions. Time and price are interlinked, its normal to get a ranging market after a price shock, even though it was only 100 points, we are within that shadow still.

      eurousd not taking anything technical into consideration bot head/shoulder triangle nothing-i see big will to keep euro up respecting daily supports that are rising gradually
      US existing home sales will spike euro to 1.33 and give some breath for gbpusd for correction 1.5644 would hold i think for today least

      yeah, any breakout will likely be false so best is to stay away from this pair... yen,aussie and kiwi are better to trade these days

    • agree, cos the asian central banks were rumored to long at 1.322 - so which bloody side are they with, US or Europe, lol!!!!

      Let's see if it is able have the take to break just a MINOR resistance at 1.3262.

      But we know that they long in order to sell. Looks like today is another formation day. Let it go and unemployment will take care of it tomorrow. I have enough for the day, darn only 63pips..........

      Think they looked at the chart in the wrong direction today! lmao

      @Greece’s Samaras: It’s different this time!

      Written by Jamie Coleman
      February 22, 2012 at 16:16 GMT

      New Democracy Party head Samaras says the second Greek bailout is different than the first. This time Greece won on the Eurogroup decision, he says. The second Greek bailout lacks a growth plan though he says (just like the first).

      New elections will be held in the next two months, he says and will be definitive for the future.

    • Yes, not for long, it's preparing for something big, guess tomorrow is the day. Today is quite crazy. I've stopped - too risky. Happy with the pips won.

      Trading head/shoulder, triangle is fine if not manipulated but we have been trading trapezoid, parallelogram shapes (if there is such shapes), screw the technical lol.

      From first look uptrend is prevailing but I won't be jumping on the bandwagon as yet, always cautious of bull trap. But there are also bear trap, lol.
