Share withholding to cover taxes upon RSU vesting is routine and does not represent a market sale or an additional purchase signal. For retail investors, purchases by insiders can be a stronger indicator of confidence; withholding transactions typically reflect compensation-tax mechanics rather than a change in sentiment.
