Another key milestone in the saga of the Greece-Eurozone austerity conflict comes due Friday. After a week of many headlines and charged comments, we are heading for another special Eurogroup meeting for officials to negotiate the extension of Greece's bailout program. Clearly, the Euro crosses are in the direct blast radius of the event risk - whether a favorable or unfavorable outcome. EURUSD and EURJPY in particularly are well positioned with terminal technical patterns and a greater sensitivity to the event risk. However, the influence that this event has on the markets can easily spread further out with influences on equities, Yen crosses (general risk trends) and even the US Dollar. The potential is tangible, but traders should watch with an abundance of caution as a dragging out of the situation could be a troubling 'status quo' outcome or news that comes after the weekend liquidity drain can find market participants in a dangerous position. We look at some of the many good-looking technical setups with an eye for the heightened risk in today's Trading Video.
