flip a coin.. Orderly default or kicked down the road again
Or, even better. Get two coins, place one heads up, the other tails down.

This is possible to translate into trading.

.....very true. Well what is happening is what we already knew 2 years ago. Greece is defaulting. It just an orderly default but I agree doesn't look like a collapse of the euro of the end of the world yet ...just a weaker euro mid term...

sisse
the spotlight is on Greece. what about the entity called the ecb? taken bad debt atm, bad debt that in the future will decline in value. lots of smart people making the people they represent look stupid. putting a square peg in a round hole. the term fuzzy math comes to mind. first we criticized it, then we make it fiscal policy.

history repeats. doing the same thing and expecting a different result. there is a term for this even a crazy man will see.
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

Just a quick review of bond markets before Greece "resolution" (lol...) interesting to check as they will give us the fuel for the next wave down when Greek is cleared (official default or not is irrelevant...they are defaulted).

10 yrs in sharp very sharp downturns (only one breaking highs today ...Greece). Portugal managed to put a hard top and they are back below 14. Italy keep going down but still above 5,5 but 2 remarkable cases are Spain and Ireland.

They are about to break down to very decent levels (that will mark a solid turn around and clear most of panic/fear in the next debt wave down). Spain tick below 5 but it couldn't hold and Ireland that is in "free" fall an inch away of breaking down the psychological (and technical debt wise) 7% (remember only a couple of weeks ago Italy was higher than Ireland today).

Let see. Swing-wise as of today If Greece officially default in march I am looking for a nice wave down but with all eyes on buying the bottom with quarterly chart for a very long position trade for later this year. If not...will keep trading the weekly trend until is done...

That is very true Gator. What the heck will happen with the ECB holdings is the BIG ? in all this.... not Greece. That's why the Germans are so vocal with Greece "IS NOT GOING TO DEFAULT" speech of the last weeks.

I can only imagining that the Germans and others already have or about to have a plan B and that's why they are allowing Greece to play the puppet master until march. There is no much information about that so I still have my doubts , they may not find a solution for the ECB holdings yet and that's why all this mumbojumbo of the last few weeks...

Lots of rumors on Greece from different sources. Both private and public (EU and Greek level) on imminent default and only Germany-French last minute option can prevent the boat from sinking. A new delay until tomorrow for the announcement confirmed from Greece so pure tweet zone for the close...

ES and stocks failing to crack R and they look ready for a shallow pullback before continuation ....to be confirmed on the close.

What do you guys think has more power? Say price enters a consolidation. Upon exiting consolidation

a) Price makes a higher high and comes back down into the range (Implies weakness of sellers; failed to hold the highs)
b) price makes a higher low in the range (implies strength of buyers, held the lows)

Preferred is obviously higher high && higher low... but, well, ya know...
