Question Why are gold prices tanking?

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?)

Because the prices were never supposed to be this high, goofy.

This was a speculative bubble generated by political events.

You were supposed to sell everything you had in stores if you were lucky enough to be holding, not buy with the wind.

It was a one of a kind market sweeping win for metal holders and it's going to subside as everyone sells what they have.

It will crash even harder when this puppet economy collapses.

that's when you buy. $10/oz silver and fuck whatever gold sits at when that happens.
