I was discussing with other traders in the Gold Discussion ChatRoom about the high volatility of Gold futures these days. My opinion, as stated in the linked idea, is still bullish. When trading commodities and stocks in consolidation phase or with high volatility, I usually check the "On Balance Volume" (OBV) Indicator looking for a divergence. This indicator bases on the fact that volume precedes prices. Divergences between OBV and price could help to identify a trend reversal (and they are a strong signal).
In the chart, I graphed the positive trend in green (starting from December 2019) and the recent retracement in red (last two days). OBV indicator is still high (showing bullish strength), and there is no divergence with the price level.
