EU Analysis:
MONTH- The candle is an above average spread (647pips) bear equal-bodied (same size of wicks) spinning top closing on very high vol<2weeks. This is absorption of selling. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.
WEEK- The candle is a below average spread (324pips) bull closing 1/2 off the high on low vol>2weeks. The candle close and volume suggests more downside.
DAY- The candle is a normal spread (118pips) bull closing near the high on high vol<1day. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.
Background: The continuing Euro-Greek saga places a lot of questions on the future of the Eurozone as its leaders must now find a solution for Greece. Forcing the Greeks out of the Eurozone is not desirable whereas forgiving the debt may set an unsustainable precedent for the other indebted member countries who had already taken the austerity pill. This makes for a week of volatility as the market begins to find a direction.
The Oanda order book shows overwhelming net trapped short volume.

The FOMC meeting minutes yesterday was pretty much a non-event as various members talked about the Greek problem and others talked about raising rates, etc. meaning we had nothing fresh. The Oanda platform Net positions still show significant bulk of traders trapped short and hardly any net long or short stops level. Prices have pushed higher post-FOMC to a new high of 1.1123 and SM is likely to retest this level or higher before reversing.
