Gold's recent dip got me thinking about my long-term play

Okay, so I've been watching gold slide a bit the last few weeks, and honestly, it's a little nerve-wracking even though I'm fully committed to the long game. My Gold IRA is sitting around $380k right now, and while that's still a healthy gain from when I first started rolling over old 401ks into physical gold a few years back, you can't help but check the charts daily, right? I'm in Salt Lake City, and I see a lot of folks here getting into real estate, but for me, the tangibility and historical stability of gold were just too appealing for a significant chunk of my retirement.
My financial advisor initially walked me through everything, and honestly, he's a big reason I felt confident enough to put a substantial portion of my portfolio into this. He’s got other clients making similar moves, and the general consensus is that we’re still in a healthy bull market for commodities long-term. Even with the recent dip, I'm not really considering selling anything. If anything, I'm wondering if this is a good opportunity to maybe add a bit more. I have some cash reserves, and the thought of acquiring more at a slightly lower entry point is tempting.
The only thing really making me hesitate is trying to figure out the exact tax implications if I were to eventually pull from it. It's not something I plan on doing for decades, but understanding the future tax landscape is always a headache. I actually found a pretty useful "Tax Calculator" at https://tax.goldirablueprint.com/ that's been helpful for running different scenarios, particularly for figuring out how distributions might look down the road. It helps calm the nerves a bit knowing what I’m potentially looking at.
Anyway, just curious what other Gold IRA investors here are thinking with the current price movements. Are you buying more on the dip? Holding steady? Or is anyone feeling a bit nervous and considering adjustments? Love to hear some perspectives.
