FxWirePro: Buy USD/CAD above 1.2315

• USD/CAD is showing a minor jump in European session after hitting low of 1.22788. The pair was mainly due to profit booking.  The pair forms temporary bottom at 1.22470 and is consolidating within narrow range. It is currently trading around 1.23061.
   
• Market waits US non-farm payroll data for further direction. US economy is expected to add 181000 jobs for the month of Feb compared to previous 148000. Any better than expected data will halt the USD selling.
