The USDCAD moved to new session highs after the report to 1.24717 but is back down to test the earlier day double-top at 1.2445. That level is trying to hold support. At the low today (see green circles in the chart below), the low today was the same as yesterday's low. So had a double bottom and double top before the break higher on the data.
