Ahead of significant risk events for XAU/USD, including the upcoming ADP Employment Change data, gold prices have moved higher in overnight trading. This rise reflects the market's cautious positioning before the release of key U.S. economic indicators.
Gold prices have successfully breached the double bottom pattern's neckline at $2496, a critical technical level. Currently, prices are testing the $2506 resistance level, which coincides with the highs from September 2-3. A break above $2506 could open the door to the next key resistance at $2519, marking the projected completion of the double bottom pattern—a classic bullish reversal signal.
However, if the price fails to break through $2506 and gets rejected, traders should watch for a potential retest of the $2496 support level. This level, previously a resistance, has now flipped to support, creating a pivotal zone for short-term price action. The trend will remain upwards above $2490.
