Growth was held up at the 67<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0degree, where it sat for 14 hours, then, during the Asian session, bulls broke through it. The euro is trading at 1.1618 against the session high of 1.1620.<\/p>\n<p>The economic calendar is empty. In terms of significant events there&#8217;s the meeting of the RBNZ. As the meeting is going to take place quite late, it will not affect the euro. All is clear up to 1.1665. The 112<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0degree will act as a strong resistance and we will see what comes of this in the European session on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>If you paid attention, then you&#8217;ll see the euro is fixed at 1.1665 in the form of two triples. At the moment, nothing is preventing the bulls from moving northward. Euro crosses are trading in positive territory. With such a formation, the price should shoot up. A support is passing through 1.1592. A breakout of the channel will quash any growth prospects.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump Administration will impose a 25% tariff on 16bn USD in Chinese goods to the US, starting the 23<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0of August.\u00a0<span title=\"\u0411\u0435\u043b\u044b\u0439 \u0434\u043e\u043c \u0441\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0430\u043b, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u0442\u0430\u0440\u0438\u0444\u044b \u044f\u0432\u043b\u044f\u044e\u0442\u0441\u044f \u043e\u0442\u0432\u0435\u0442\u043e\u043c \u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0435\u0434\u043e\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0441\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043d\u0443\u044e \u0442\u043e\u0440\u0433\u043e\u0432\u0443\u044e \u043f\u0440\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0443 \u041a\u0438\u0442\u0430\u044f, \u0441\u0432\u044f\u0437\u0430\u043d\u043d\u0443\u044e \u0441 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u043d\u0443\u0434\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0430\u0447\u0435\u0439 \u0430\u043c\u0435\u0440\u0438\u043a\u0430\u043d\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u0442\u0435\u0445\u043d\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0438\u0438 \u0438 \u0438\u043d\u0442\u0435\u043b\u043b\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0443\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u0441\u043e\u0431\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438.\">The White House said that tariffs are a response to China&#8217;s unfair trade practices related to the forced transfer of American technology and intellectual property.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"\u041a\u0430\u043a \u0432\u0438\u0434\u0438\u043c \u0442\u043e\u0440\u0433\u043e\u0432\u0430\u044f \u0432\u043e\u0439\u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0438 \u043a \u0447\u0435\u043c\u0443 \u0445\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0448\u0435\u043c\u0443 \u043d\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0435\u043b\u0430.\">As we can see, the trade war has not lead to anything good.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"\u041f\u0440\u0438 \u044d\u0441\u043a\u0430\u043b\u0430\u0446\u0438\u0438 \u0442\u043e\u0440\u0433\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043a\u043e\u043d\u0444\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0442\u0430 \u0443\u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u0440\u044b\u043d\u043a\u0430 \u0432\u044b\u0445\u043e\u0434\u044f\u0442 \u0438\u0437 \u0440\u0438\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0432\u044b\u0445 \u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u0432\u043e\u0432.\">With the escalating the trade conflict, market participants are dropping risky assets.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"\u041f\u043e\u044d\u0442\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442 \u043f\u0430\u0440\u044b \u0435\u0432\u0440\u043e\/\u0434\u043e\u043b\u043b\u0430\u0440 \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435\u0442 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0447\u0438\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0432 \u043b\u044e\u0431\u043e\u0439 \u043c\u043e\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0442.\">Therefore, the growth of the EURUSD pair may end at any time.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"\u0415\u0441\u043b\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u043a\u0443\u043f\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u0438 \u0441\u0435\u0433\u043e\u0434\u043d\u044f \u0434\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438\u0433\u043d\u0443\u0442 \u0443\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0435\u043d\u044c 1,1660\/65, \u044f \u043d\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438\u0432.\n\">If buyers reach the level of 1,1660\/65 today, that&#8217;s okay with me.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"s_invisible_yes\">Source: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpari.com\/en\/hidden_copyright\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">EURUSD: the first significant resistance is 1.1665<\/a>&#8220;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Gabriel Ojimadu, Alpari Previous: Despite the tense trade relations between the US and China, EURUSD finished trading up on Tuesday.
