Traders remain cautious, acknowledging that any sustained bullish momentum hinges on the impact of forthcoming dataAttention today is focused on the ADP numbers, and market watchers are keenly observing whether a positive report can push the dollar towards a high of 108 or if setbacks will lead to a loss of support around 105. Furthermore, gold has undergone a series of fluctuations this week, with Monday's downward trend followed by Tuesday's upward reversalsThe volatility in gold prices peaked with a range from 2634 to 2655, and players were advised not to become overly bullish before the release of significant data, anticipating ongoing oscillationsOn Tuesday, traders were encouraged to consider short positions around 2646 and then flip to long positions at 2641, effectively capturing profits from both sides of the market.
