Humans are very good at spotting patterns, or repeating features people can recognize. For instance, ancient Polynesians navigated across the Pacific by recognizing many patterns, from the stars’ constellations to more subtle ones such as the directions and sizes of ocean swells.

In other words, insider selling can serve as a warning.
For example, the January 2022 Elliott Wave Financial Forecast, a monthly publication which covers major U.S. financial markets, noted:
