What recent activity suggests that an announcement is imminent?

but I don't think they'll announce a tour – not during the summer holiday season

Yep, not now - but maybe early/mid September which is in 6-7 weeks. Maybe already some preparations until then ....

Another thing I have come to respect and love The Stones for... The short fuse on selling tickets and when the show happens. I heard on the radio today some DJ blathering how excited he was that Mateallicka was coming back in concert and he couldn't wait for it and he got his tickets... FOR A SHOW HAPPENING NEXT FEBRUARY OR MARCH... 2019!!!
I think it is rude and disrespectful for a band to want to hold fans money that long.

Disagree on the "rush of overpriced tickets" general characterization (whine) though.

Mick practically announced a fall tour today!
"Thank you for all the birthday wishes, I’m enjoying a break and I got a new bush hat!"
Enjoy your break birthday boy, you deserve it! See you this fall.

Seems to me that the recent activity on facebook by the band appears to indicate an imminent announcement? Any credence to this thought by those in the know? Could this bode well for some mid to late fall North American dates by chance?

Groupon helped them sell many tickets during No Filter in case you missed it, and there were many price adjustments due to the flex pricing .
Not to mention massive loads of Lucky Dips available up to the day of certain shows. Looking forward to the same situation if and when they return.

Yet, like every other year, they can play 15 shows and still be one of the top 10 money making tours of the year. 2018 will be no different.

I said "if the prices are too high" which is pure speculation - not a general characterization (or whine).
But it's clear that anything that comes remotely close to sounding like a criticism of the band will be considered a whine by you which isn't surprising.

Well.. that changes everything.
Crazy to think you, of all people, would already be criticizing the band for "overpriced tickets" and "resorting to Groupon". I mean, "if" you did
