High volatility expected
Single insider sale of $204K is routine profit-taking after year-long rally; insufficient catalyst for directional conviction. No distress signal, no major news catalyst—market has absorbed this type of activity.

High volatility expected
Broad market already down 0.06% with elevated VIX (26.35); regional bank insider activity is noise in current macro uncertainty.
