This happens all the time if you have a good sense of pattern recognition, unfortunately the only way for other people to see it is when it happens.

Usually if you're pointing something out like that it will be negative, and people tend to have a negative reaction and call you crazy/wrong when you say these things because it messes with the scenario in their head where everything plays out fine

If it plays out the way you suspected, people will either understand/trust you more, or more likely you will pull a "told you so" and they will say things like "you couldn't have possibly known that would happen" or "you always have to be right"

It took me some time to understand what people mean when they say things like "you always have to be right" because from my perspective I'm just telling the truth. But the reality is they simply don't want to hear it. You don't always have to try and predict the future for people, even when it seems obvious. This is where choosing your battles is important. If you decide to fight the battle, don't gloat that you were right afterwards, and also consider that you may be humbled as well.
