Following up from yesterday's update, Are Bulls Teasing Bears? - Ending Diagonal Scenario:

The first impulse might have completed at the highs of 2475, suggesting the initial leg of the move that began at 2420 has peaked. If the key support level of 2460 is breached on the downside, it could confirm the completion of this initial impulse.

If Gold holds the key support levels at 2450 and 2440, the yellow metal could maintain a positive bias and potentially push towards the all-time high of 2500+. Once these key supports at 2450 and 2440 are held, the bullish momentum could continue.

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
