Over the past couple of weeks, with the latest leg of the on-going European Debt crisis hotting up, I have heard from a number of traders telling me that the EURUSD is about to collapse, a view which I must admit I have had some sympathy to. However, despite the market throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at the troubled Euro, it has once again seemed to defy the wishes of many and shown remarkable resilience.
I decided to see whether there has been a decent visible' correlation between heightened European Debt fears or not over the past year. The chart below, shows the EURUSD (top), versus Spanish 10 Year government bond yields (bottom). - What seems apparent is a lack of any visible correlation between panics on Spanish debt (yields rising) and the value of the EUR versus the USD over the past year. - During the summer panic the EURUSD remained sidelined in the low 1.40s, during the October - December Panic the EURUSD started and finished in the low 1.30s, but did spike up to over 1.4000. It would seem that the damage to the EURUSD tends if anything to follow in the wake of action taken to allay the panic. The current panic, whether it is over or not, does seem to be following along similar lines so far, with the currency remaining resilient just above 1.3000.

yes that is a good logic but most importantly is whether the long term bearish view for the eurusd will become reallity? I personally think that from technical point of view eurusd should test 1.25 then 1.2 why not parity but as often timing is key. From fundental perspective EU does not have a future without a fiscal union. Hence my bearish view
