Gold and Market Downturns

I’ve always thought of gold as a safe haven - something that should rise when stocks fall. But looking back at certain downturns, gold actually dropped alongside the market - initially.

What are the main reasons gold can follow the market downturn during a sell-off?

Would like to understand how to manage gold exposure. Thanks
