Gold order book replay Oct 13: sellers absorbed

Today's gold order book: sellers absorbed 👀

Gold futures (GC), Tue Oct 13, rebuilt order by order from the exchange data:

• 13:19–13:31 ET: sellers hit the bid at 4,176–4,180 (XAUUSD ≈4,153–4,157), 334 contracts net, and price barely moved
• The other side kept absorbing it
• Then gold rallied $10 by 14:08 ET

Big volume, no progress = absorption. Information, not a signal.
