Wednesday, 08.08.2018, the currency pair USD/RUB shows the unexpected uptrend, which has broken the channel and had been increasing by 22184 pips or 3.50% at that day and still increasing until today with the whole movement increase of 51845 or 8.17 %.

Our American friends should understand that."
