A director selling $15.9M in a single filing is a significant insider signal, especially given the $5.3M in insider sales already this month. Monitor for additional Form 144 or Form 4 filings from Canaan or other insiders. The stock's strong analyst consensus (87% bullish) may be at odds with insider behavior — watch for any negative pre-announcement or clinical/regulatory update that could explain the selling.
