Is it time for Kogan to fall?
In October 2020, KGN reached an all-time high price of $25.57 before falling away into the low at the end of November 2020.
From the low the share price moved up to $21.70 or 61.8% of the prior range with the move up taking place on declining volume.

Both the move down (red line) and the move up (green line) may be countertrend moves.
For Kogan to be considered bullish still, the price would have to break the all-time high of $25.57.
Should the price fall below $15.54 and create a newer low, then Kogan could be considered to be bearish.
Nothing goes up forever and while KGN had a fantastic 2020, at some point the share price needs to come down, which we may be seeing the start of now.
For those that made a good profit trading Kogan this past year, it may be time to sit tight and wait for the next rally.
Those still holding positions — monitor the next couple of weeks closely and look for the indications of the share price being bullish or bearish and react accordingly.
