If you find no correlation between the value of the euro versus the dollar, the situation in the euro zone, and it's implications for the US markets, then please ignore my posts of currency charts.
The Eur/Usd is at a high risk/reward area for a long swing trade. If it breaks down from here it would be bearish for equities. This is a simplified way to gauge a default in Greece and it's contagion to Portugal, Spain and the rest of the euro zone.
The Greece situation has become increasingly important as it sets a precedence for the rest of the global economies. Many countries, most urgently the euro zone members followed by the US, face similar problems; massive government debt versus GDP.
