Greece And The Endgame Of The Neocolonial Model Of Exploitation
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/19/2015 - 19:30
With the bankruptcy of Greece now undeniable, we've finally reached the endgame of the Neocolonial-Financialization Model. There are no more markets to exploit with financialization, and the fact that the mountains of debt are unpayable can no longer be masked. At this point, the financial Aristocracy has an unsolvable dilemma: writing off defaulted debt also writes off assets and income streams, for every debt is somebody else's asset and income stream. When all those phantom assets are recognized as worthless, the system implodes.
Can they kick this can just one more time in the last hour like they always do?
Thursday
Telephone conversations Tsipra with Merkel, Hollande and Renzo.
Tsipras had 50-minute telephone conversation with German Chancellor A.Merkel. The two agreed to a mutually beneficial agreement for Greece and discussed in a positive atmosphere.
Also, the Greek prime minister A.Tsipras contacted the Italian counterpart M.Rentsi, who in turn had spoken on the phone with the President of the European Commission Z.K.Giounker.
Is it bullish for gold?
Was QE, Cyprus default, 2008 crash, and everything else that has happened in the last 40 months?
No.
At the current moment, all trends still remain down. A short term bounce is due. And even that is only 75% favored. Remain cautious. Be careful.
Gold Commentary
China remains closed. We discussed that the control boyz are in full charge right now. The chart below shows just a 4 dollar range during Asian market times and the Majority of the world slept. Then London from the get-go moves gold right to the 1222 weekly reversal price an hour before the close. Then USA opened and along with London pummeled the market all day long. Look at the red when London and USA open. This was the one concern we voiced last night on the update about a cycle turn here. Now we go to Friday. Gold needs to close above 1222 on Friday to neutralize the short term downtrend.
Short Term Gold
Bottom line – we move into Friday with London and USA closing out the week and going into an unsure situation once again over the weekend.
Overall Gold Chart
Here’s the view that shows where gold has to hold. A price below 1190-1188 is the break point to 1167-1172. Thus the 1190-1200 is a must hold area because it activates lower potential. Since the cycle window is still open Friday (last day of window) there is NOTHING cast in stone yet. However, a market that moves from 1197 to 1223 and then moves lower than 1197 is NOT NORMAL behavior. Let’s see if gold can hold on and turn up.One final note, for those who remember our target highs for Q1 most likely dates were Jan 19th-23rd / Feb 19th – 23rd or March 19th-23rd. The green line shows the first target in January and that’s right where we peaked. However, we were favoring February as the MOST likely date for a high because of the short term blue cycle. When it inverted, it gave us this Feb 19th Low point instead of a high.
