Gold Technical Analysis: Bulls need to defend trendline support of $1,190

The hourly chart relative strength index (RSI) is reporting overbought conditions. As a result, gold could find it hard to scale the immediate resistance of the 200-hour moving average of $1,193.
A repeated rejection at the 200-hour MA could yield a pullback, although the outlook would remain bullish as long as the yellow metal is holding above the ascending trendline support of $1,190.
A break below the ascending trendline would allow a deeper drop to the 50-hour MA, currently located at $1,184.
