Who is to blame for starting the current crisis in the eurozone? Greece? Italy? The real answer may lie further north. It was not the behaviour of the eurozone's southern members that first plunged the single currency into crisis.

A gap towards 1,315x = long
A gap towards 1,327x = short

To be honest, there is no blame. This 600 pip run, to some degree, satisfied the natural range of trading. Way to high but that's my opinion. Technically it could even go higher but there has to be a bias to valuations (albeit against the USD is not saying much) based on the long term trends and 'experts' all say it's going down. You got to be a kindergartener not to see that. Yet to my chagrin, it could go to 3400 to satisfy the upper trend line. I can think of no other reason. The Euro is about to fall apart and people are still going long. I can understand as a short term trade. You guys have bigger balls than I do if you are waiting it out for a 3500 or 3600.

Good Luck.

What deal? Maybe amongst reporters and analysts, but Merkel does not think it would be wise to have Germany obligate funds when it could be better served elsewhere. And frankly, Germany is one of the few economy's working. Perhaps the best thing for Greece and the Euro is to let it default. It might be devastating for a while but eventually the Euro could come back without such a drag as Greece.

What does Greece have to offer other than painted seashells for tourists? They virtually have no economy. They just need to go back to their drachma to trade in their dried fish markets and open air street vendors.

I don't mean to offend anyone from Greece but am I wrong?

The default is the problem, not the debt itself, Germany alone can wipe out Greek debts instantly but that would mean Greece DEFAULTED and activate the CDS - the derivative payout for a Technical Greek default is in the $Trillions, that would send a chain reaction through the market taking out banks & insurers hold the other end of the bets.
The only way to correctly sort the mess is have global ban on ALL derivatives with maybe 20% + original sum payout to all holders.

I agree with you but I don't think a chain reaction would be that quick or even happen at all. I said it would be devastating--but only for awhile. Greece is not an Italy, France, Spain, Ireland, and least of all Germany. Greece is like the kid brother that screwed up and you are going to have to let him go to learn some life lessons.

In the truest sense of the word, Greece has already defaulted. It's like they quit paying on their mortgage and it's only a matter of time before the sheriff physically kicks them out of the house.

The problems is if Greece goes down it will take down currently barely stable banks - if those Banks go down Govts will have to bail out all their depositors, plus those banks have $trillions bet on them to fail so a second round of payouts in the $trillions.

Please. I am using absurdity to make a point.

Pick any financial institution commenting on Greece or just Google 'Economy of Greece'.

I don't think it is necessary to state the obvious.

SYDNEY, Jan 29 (IFR) - Greece and its private creditors said on Saturday they were in the final stages of piecing together the final elements of a debt swap that would chop 100 BLN EUR off Greece's debt burden. Greek bondholders said the two sides were finalizing a deal along the lines proposed by EZ finance ministers chairman Juncker, but it appeared unlikely the deal would be finalized by the EU Summit takes place on Monday. According to AP - private investors would receive new bonds whose face value is half of the existing bonds. The new bonds would have a longer maturity and pay an average interest rate of slightly less than 4%. The final deal will be announced next week in tandem with a new 130 BLN EUR loan program for Greece being put together by the "Troika" that is hoped to cover Greece's borrowing needs through 2015. The interest rate or coupon on the new bonds was a major stumbling block in the negotiations with private creditors - who were until Saturday insisting it should be above 4.0%.
