Just pulled up the chart and gold is refusing to roll over near $4,660 even as the Iran headlines keep flipping. After the big swings and that reported 13% drop since the conflict heated up, the buyers are still stepping in on the dips.

The safe-haven flows haven't vanished. There's been profit taking after the recent peaks, sure, but it's stabilizing in this range instead of collapsing. Complements the oil strength and firmer dollar pretty cleanly right now.

Traders are using it to hedge both the geopolitical mess and those recession risks that won't go away. Second-order effect I'm watching: if oil spikes harder on any supply disruption, this gold bid could get a lot more aggressive.

The catch? Any real progress on talks or de-escalation and we could see a fast fade back toward 4500. But fresh escalation and this thing has room to run toward 4800+.

Where are you marking your levels? Support holding here feels important, but the tape is twitchy as hell today.
