EUR/USD is moving up towards the 1.3280 line on strong optimism that the bailout package for Greece will be signed off today. Is this optimism justified?

A bridge loan will prevent a default when Greece needs to redeem bonds worth around 14.5 billion euros on March 20th. Nevertheless, it will not provide a solution for the problem, and will continue “kicking the can down the roadâ€.
