What is the market doing?

Choppy, but holding above its 200-day average. Price is +5% vs its 200-day average.
Insiders were net sellers over the 90 days ending Oct 8, 2026; selling is often routine (taxes, diversification).
Heavily shorted, settled Sep 15, 2026, about a week of normal trading to cover. Up 1.9% since the previous count, up from 11.6% of shares outstanding three months ago.

Percentile against every name Ryufin tracks. Higher is better; the tick marks the middle of the market. Context, not one of the checks above.
Where this answer is blind. Insider selling is often routine (taxes, diversification); only cluster buying is a strong tell.
