Action-packed Friday afternoon. France and Austria confirmed downgrade one notch and official announcement at weekly close (fckers). Germany, The Netherlands, Finland and Luxembourg confirmed AAA.

Greece collapsing again and opening default. Well more than opening, confirming what everybody knows but politicians have painfully avoided the last year.

Weekly close with full of uncertainty i re overextended mode but still "far" from supports 1.259x wide open and the key 1.237x already on sight. 1.266x only level to watch for the roll but all cards...

2% move off the highs, this thing is done for the day, retest of lows possible, but she'll end in tight range after this move. Crap day here.

An we have had plenty of it thanks to the EZ politicians but I will need to digest these last events (even better if Greece default) as we maybe reaching the end of happy times. Bonds were timid and didn't react as usual (but it was late so we need monday) so a near bottom in this pair volatility will be on the cards soon very soon.

US downgraded in August, France in January, if rating agencies are going to be consistent UK should be the next in line as it has worse macro and structural numbers than both. That will create some interesting volatility in cable specially so keeping a close eye on that too for next weeks.

I can only see UP and UP on the ES, is only a matter of time. As soon as the knee jerk reaction from europe are cleared we are going for a very extended rally until elections in US stocks TA and FA wise.

Waiting for the hourly to close, but looks like this one is going to be a loss for me on the long side. People are just hell bent on selling the piss out of this one today.

I really do not see what the fundamental relevance of an agency lowering some ratings is, as if it's a complete surprise to the market and they (the agency) has better crystal balls than market has.
Expecting recovery to 1.28 + levels next week to correct things.

It's hard to tell V.. 15min looks like point up on next bar so i've risked a long but S&P can drop a bomb any minute

10min looks like it might make a bounce too soon but all risky
