Falling gold prices and unexpectedly soft quarterly labor market data from New Zealand have weighed on the Kiwi over the past few days.
The Canadian dollar, meanwhile, found support from firmer crude oil prices and a rebound in its North American counterpart, the US dollar.
Can today’s Canadian jobs report keep the Canadian dollar in control?

NZD/CAD recently broke above a trend line resistance that had been in place since July 2025.
The pair ran into resistance near .8250 and has since pulled back toward the .8150 psychological handle.
We’re side-eying this technical area, as it lines up with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the 2026 upswing, the Pivot Point at .8108, the 200 SMA, and the former trend line resistance.
Signs of bullish demand here could keep the breakout intact and open the door for a move back toward the .8250 highs, if not the R2 area at .8352.
However, if the pullback extends into the coming sessions and NZD/CAD consistently trades back below the trend line, attention may shift toward a retest of the .8000 psychological handle or even the .7900 prior lows.
Whichever bias you end up trading, don’t forget to practice proper risk management and stay aware of top-tier catalysts that could influence overall market sentiment.
