XAUUSD : Volatility contraction but still stands on upper half

Volatility contracted like waiting for a main players to come and play.
But still lingers on the upper half of candlestick and outside an upper trendline in Tf1 hr.
It shows that traders commit in a higher price.

It would be a flag pattern if it can eventually breakout from a channel
And target point is so alluring XD

Any comments are welcome!
