Price cannot muster enough force to get near to 1.3000 and then gets slammed. Is the euro being devalued (aka price defense)? Is it a lack of market support due to fundamentals? Whatever the case is it can't be ignored. Big money is talking and one must listen. It's a sign that seems to be pointing in only one direction.

Went through this small article from DownJones. Found it interesting so thought of sharing here:

The Cypriot Tangle

The Cyprus-Russia-European Union triangle is becoming mighty tangled.

The EU is demanding that Cyprus recapitalizes its banks as a condition for extending loans to keep the country afloat. So to get hold of 10 billion euros ($13 billion) of EU money, Cyprus needs to raise around EUR6 billion on its own.

Its earlier plans to do so by taxing depositors was more or less torpedoed. There was so much outrage that savers protected by deposit protection insurance--those with bank accounts holding up to EUR100,000--would lose money that the Cypriot government backtracked. On the other hand, it didn't want to raise the levy substantially on uninsured depositors because many of those were very wealthy foreigners, particularly Russians. Barclays estimates that accounts holding more than EUR500,000 represent 42% of the deposit base, compared with 46% for accounts holding less than EUR100,000.

Cyprus could raise all of the funds from those very wealthy accounts. Except Cyprus would end up alienating its Russian friends. Cyprus already has an outstanding EUR2.5 billion loan from Russia from when it was last in crisis, which it's looking to extend for five years with a two percentage point cut in how much interest it has to pay.

What's more, Cyprus is keen on saving its financial services industry, notwithstanding that its size, around eight times bigger than annual economic output, is at the heart of the country's problems now. Confiscating a big chunk of money from its richest depositors would guarantee to kill it as an offshore haven stone dead.

Cyprus is by far the largest source of foreign direct investment into Russia, some 29% of the total. Clearly, this is not Cypriot money. Russian cash flows into Cypriot shell companies and then flows back into Russian assets. Never mind why its done, the flows are so large that even tiny frictional costs--legal fees, company fees, banking fees--represent a very nice income for the Cypriot economy.

It's income Cyprus desperately wants to keep, although it may well already be beyond saving now--merely making plans for a depositor tax will have spooked foreigners, possibly to the point of abandoning Cyprus altogether.

Nor is the deposit tax particularly popular with the Cypriots. A survey reported in a Greek newspaper found that 67% of Cypriots would rather the country abandoned the euro than levied a deposit tax.

This represents a serious impasse.

Germany doesn't want to bail out rich Russians by extending ever larger loans and liquidity assistance to the country. Cyprus doesn't want to tax Russians considered key to its domestic economy.

One possible alternative is for Cyprus to go to Russia directly. But another Russian loan would be unacceptable to the EU because yet more leverage would do nothing to make Cypriot banks and the government solvent. One mooted possibility has been to sell Cypriot gas fields to Russia in exchange for the funds. Or to get Russians to recapitalize the banks directly.
Russia, which in the Soviet era was desperate for a warm-water base in the Mediterranean, might still be keen on a quid-pro-quo, although it's hard to see the U.S. acceding to that, not least because its ally the U.K. has two large sovereign military bases on the island.

If Cyprus fails to meet EU criteria, the European Central Bank has said it will cut off liquidity assistance to Cypriot banks. Which means that when Cypriot banks open up again, they'd immediately collapse as deposits fled. This, in turn, would force it to institute capital controls and almost certainly require that the Cypriot government printed its own IOUs to cover its expenses. These IOUs would very quickly become a separate currency and, presto, Cyprus is out of the euro zone and very likely outside the EU.

Russia doesn't want this. One of Cyprus's main attractions for Russians is that it represents an easy entree into the EU.
Nor would the EU be particularly keen on a Cypriot exit from the single currency, because it would once again raise convertibility risk in vulnerable countries like Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland.

So it seems likely that some sort of deal will be struck. The EU can't back down on taxing Cyprus's wealthiest depositors now. But the tax is likely to be considerably smaller than what's needed to raise EUR6 billion. Russian might well make up part of the difference. The rest is likely to be from a bigger EU loan.
