Greeks party has 3 days to form government while the G20 meetings and the US FOMC meet this week

In the week ahead, the world will be watching the Greece elections are a make or break for financial markets worldwide. Although the New Democracy, the pro EU party has captured the lead, they now have to form a government. They have three days to negotiate with other parties to secure a majority. With the debt-laden nation running out of money to pay its bills by the end of this month. If the New Democracy manages to secure enough votes along with Pasok support, Greece could survive for the next few months at least. The official information should be finalized early Monday morning. This is not as easy as it seems. The parties could not negotiate and form a government in a similar situation just 6 weeks ago.

In the US, the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets the course of central bank policy, begins a two-day meeting on June 19. The group may address a cooling expansion, weaker job growth and the financial crisis in Europe. The G20 meetings begin this week, where the focus will be on central bank intervention to protect the global banking system and growth.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The short term trend is basically sideways as investors try to make heads or tails out of the Greece situation.. A break above could push up to the next resistance at 1.2901. Lower target this week is the bottom at 1.2300. The (ATR) for the pair at present 114 pips. The long term outlook remains grossly bearish, but for short-term there is a bit more upside before a fresh lower top is sought out. Look for the latest positive weekly close to open the door for acceleration into the 1.2800-1.3000. Daily technical's give a strong buy signal where as weekly are moving to neutral and are mixed.

The pair have approached the 1.57 expect a correction back to the resistance at 1.5650 and then a climb towards the resistance at 1.5887. A breakdown could send the pair as low as 1.5268. Short term signals are moving away from oversold and might allow for a necessary short-term corrective bounce, the test will come at 1.5440 where the pair will either gather the strength to move back up, to chase the 1.58 price otherwise look for a bottom around 1.54

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The pair are trading at the 79. price level having formed a new top at 78.60 level. The pair will most likely trade sideways today although they could move either We are looking at a range from 77.66 to 81.04. The market has been rather volatile, with signals collapsing through the 200-Day SMA before finally finding support by 77.65. There have been attempts at recovery and the market should continue to move higher. We will need to see a break and close back above 80.00 to officially alleviate downside pressures and reaffirm bullish outlook. Stealth intervention by the BoJ is suspected, caution remains the key word here.
