Grexit will eventually happen, time to position for the next big move in the market

After #Greece defaulted on the #IMF, Greeks rejected the austerity plan proposed by the EU comprehensively. We now have had a bailout package for Greece. The IMF has expressed concerns about joining the bailout adding to the uncertainty. Eventually after all the bailouts a #Grexit may prove to be the only way out. Regardless some key markets are poised for big moves:

Let us take a look at the #Euro first. The Euro appears to have put in a near term top near it's recent highs near the 1.16 level and has been correcting lower. It appears to be poised for a big move and has already corrected below the 1.13 level. Like the Euro 1.11 put with the 1.13 call as a hedge.
