Gold Technical analysis is driven by volatility

1. Recent Impulsive buying behavior visible in price action is driven by influx of liquidity and trap hunting. We can notice the steepness of movement in the price chart. Gold jumped from 1250 to 1350 respectively marking highs and lows. Market could’ve trapped traders and forced liquidation during this process.

2. One obvious question we get after observing such a kind of price action is – Does it tells something about market sentiment and participants mindset? By looking at this structure we can deduct the strength of buying pressure. In order for buyer’s dominance to continue we should see constant buying pressure on dips.

3. Corrective movements followed the impulsive price action. Gold started trading within the range in a consolidation structure. It seems like market is pausing here a bit now considering the moves we have seen since Friday. The high of range is at 1360 and low at 1305. Volatility is reduced sharply within this structure.

4.The game changer is volatility. We should see how prices react when market becomes volatile whether it expands upside or stagnate downside, it won’t count unless it’s accompanied by volatility. Traders should see how price behaves when volatility increases to gauge market direction.
