As the US employment data set was released the US Dollar jumped against the Canadian Dollar. However, by previously judging the technical charts, the move was already expected. During the hour of the data released at 12:30 GMT the currency pair touched the lower trend line of the medium term ascending channel pattern, rebounded against it and then suddenly jumped in accordance with the pattern. The rate's surge was stopped by the combined resistance of the weekly R2 and monthly PP just below the 1.2340 mark. It can be expected that a period of consolidation of the massive gains of the jump will occur. Afterwards the markets will most likely experience a continuation of the surge of the US Dollar against the Loonie.
