A $1M+ open-market buy by the CEO is a strong bullish signal — the highest-ranking insider is putting personal capital at risk. Monitor for any subsequent insider purchases or corporate announcements (buyback, earnings pre-announcement) that could confirm the thesis. Historical TFC calls have been mixed, but this specific event type (CEO conviction buy) is well-supported in the literature.
