Context
Withholding shares to cover taxes upon RSU vesting is common and typically not a signal of insider sentiment like a discretionary open-market sale or purchase. For retail investors, purchases and open-market sales generally convey more direct trading intent; tax-withholdings primarily reflect compensation settlement mechanics.
