As we can see on the chart below, gold is facing a significant resistance at $1,223. The precious metal has closed a bearish engulfing pattern right below $1,223 which signifies a bearish bias of traders.

The RSI is holding in the overbought zone, suggesting that the bulls are exhausted and we may see sellers entering the market.
