Here's a 10 year chart of gold (black) versus Utilities sector (indigo, code XLU).
You know, that boring stuff like electrical utilities, airports, telecoms....
It's beaten gold hands down by being up 112% versus negative 3% for gold.
Gold is all hype and no substance!
Once upon a time I thought I could successfully trade/invest in gold, but my opinion has changed. IMO, there are far better opportunities where the commodity price is not manipulated.

Even crypto is a better bet imo.
Hard to say; gold/silver mining stocks tend to suck 90% of the time and make big up moves 5% of the time, Since I noted OGC it's up roughly 10% from 1.86 to 2.03 and it will almost certainly hit $3 again in any Gold rally if one occurs. So as a TRADE it was a good bet. From the chart that 1.86 area was a decent floor target.
3 year daily chart, percentage changes.
S&P500 - black - 32.56%
Copper cash - green - 39.64%
Gold cash - indigo - 15.20%
Lithium ETF - red - 214.4%
Uranium ETF - blue - 111.55%
Nat Gas ETF - orange - 57.8%

Unfortunately, gold is the winner in the loser's stakes.
Dr Copper comes second in the Shanks Pony race.
That totally deserves a fart in your general direction!
