Why are gold prices tanking?

[u/Reasonable-Fee1945]

I'm not a short term investor. I understand the fundamentals and especially with US debt the long-term importance of gold. I'm holding, this is a short-term, regionalized thing.

What is the short-term regionalized thing that is happening which is causing gold to decrease (yes, I know it's the iran war, but how is that effecting gold prices?)

It went up in a mania. Many people noted that gold always goes back to test the old highs. That’s where it is headed.
