USD/CAD rally shows signs of exhaustion despite weak Canadian jobs data, while AUD and GBP could offer CAD bears better opportunities.

The trading week continues to unfold, and the Canadian dollar has begun to show signs of renewed strength in the short term. This can be seen in recent USD/CAD price action, with the pair posting a decline of roughly 0.2% over the last two sessions, allowing the Canadian currency to recover part of the ground lost in previous weeks.

Recent trading sessions have not been particularly favorable for the Canadian dollar. USD/CAD has now recorded four consecutive bullish sessions, accumulating gains of more than 1.00% in favor of the U.S. dollar. This move once again highlights a relevant bullish bias within the market and shows that buying pressure continues to dominate in the short term.

Over recent trading sessions, a growing sense of indecision has once again become evident around USD/CAD price action.

The trading week continues to be particularly relevant for the strength currently being displayed by the Canadian dollar. Over the last two trading sessions, USD/CAD has declined by approximately 0.7%, once again highlighting a bearish bias in favor of the Canadian currency.

The start of the trading week has not been particularly favorable for the Canadian dollar. Over the last two trading sessions, USD/CAD has gained more than 0.6% in favor of the U.S. dollar, reflecting a loss of momentum for the CAD in the short term.

Over the last 3 trading sessions, the Canadian dollar has shown signs of strength, reflected in a USD/CAD decline of nearly -0.43%, marking a short-term bearish bias. This pressure has held steady following the release of Canada's inflation data and amid expectations of progress in tariff negotiations, keeping the Canadian currency from losing ground.

Over the last few sessions, the USD/CAD has seen a slight appreciation of nearly 0.3% in favor of the US dollar. However, beyond this mild bias, the broader chart picture reflects a prolonged consolidation.
