It depends on Spain not on chartastrology. Spanish total debt is EUR 2 trn. No bailout possible.
If Spain falls - defaults- Euro falls. If Spain defaults the outmost stupidity of euro politics reaches the surface and is eventually seen, even ( ok. with probability 0.5) by Merkel and money genius Schaeuble. It is that Eurozone banks are the largest holders of PIIGS bonds.
There is no such in japan and not at all in USA. You see now how wise it is that US traesury stuffs
not only China and Japan, but FED with treasuries. Which US bank holds US treasuries value of 500 bln? Not one US bank does. Deutsche bank holds 500 bln of PIIGS bonds .
So the FED acts as firewall EZone has no firewall but some firefighters.

for early part of the week... as long as below 3320/50 level... would likely see a dip towards 3050/3100 where it will likely find minor support for correction back up to 3400/30 level... b4 next downleg to 2800 level....
move back above 3450 level could mean bigger correction toward 3700/50 level first b4 next leg lower to 2800 level... Euro bears would definitely not wanna see it move past above 3800 level

If we test the downside first as i expect... 2800 level would likely provide solid support initially for crawl back up to 3700(where it will decide the fate of Euro direction... 1.45 or 1.20) level.... move back above 3800 level would be a red light signal for longer term Euro bears...

Putin concedes single currency zone possible for Russia and Europe



RBC, 26.11.2010, Moscow 17:47:54.Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin accepts the idea of a single currency zone for Russia and Europe in the long term. "It is entirely possible that Russia will share a single currency zone with Europe in the future. I do not rule out this idea," Putin told journalists in Berlin today.

Speaking of the investment climate in Russia and Europe, the Russian PM responded to German Chancellor Angela Merkel's remark about European investors facing certain problems when operating in Russia. "I agree that Russia has some problems, but our investors have to overcome many more obstacles in Europe than yours in Russia," Putin said. "We should build our cooperation so that it works as a two-way street," he added.

Just realized also that EURUSD broke below 55 week MA, as Ashraf pointed out.

As EURUSD closed week below crucial trend line, suspect a temp pause at 1.29 before going to 24 Aug low of 1.26.

I don't feel it's of any value to attempt to predict too far ahead in euro or any other instrument for that matter. Like subway I take one section at a time with my analysis. If price does that then the next high probability move is this. No point in getting ahead of ourselves, that's for fortune tellers in whom I have never had a strong belief. The markets are uncannily clever at humbleising all but a tiny minority of longer term forecasters. Timing is everything for trading, high egos get quashed.

Also notice on the fundamental analysis Ashers will often say if such and such transpires then cad or whatever will do this. Its no different with technical analysis to employ this approach to trading. Let's face it, if N.Korea did something really seriously stupid with their nukes our analysis would take a hit and any economy who happened to be down wind at the time would get seriously modified.

No harm in expressing a general opinion for where the euro might visit in the months ahead subject to this, this and this but its frankly of little value for trading.

Here ends my sermon :-)

EU has no choice but to dramatically increase liquidity. Contrary to standard argument this will
bail out EUR. It is however unclear when they do what they must do. Unlike FED QE2 ECB actually has to print money.

december monthly range would be 2800/3700 level...

back above 3800 level would shift focus back to the highs and 4400/4500 level..(very unlikely at the moment but still open to the possibility)

monthly close well below 2800 level would signal resumption of downtrend and the next significant level would be 1.2000 level... (would think about it once it closes below 2800 level...)

don't really see Euro falling out of the range(2800/3700) at least within december....
