Interesting question - not sure of the answer, but one guess is profit taking following the late December Santa rally.
Looking at historical prices, I pulled out the daily charts for December/January period over the last 4 years. There's something of a consistent pattern.
Back in January 2017, there was a parabolic rise, but this was the exception. For each year since then, KGN has opened the new year with a pullback:
2016-17 - back when it was under $2
2017-18 - flirting with $7
2018-19 - down to $3-$4 range
2019-20 - exploring $7 and beyond
