"To make an insinuation" is similar to "assume" or "think" something, using the information you have been provided with.
For example, if someone is quiet and has red under-eyes and wet cheeks, you could "insinuate" / "make an insinuation" that they have been crying. There is evidence for this.
You could assume that the person had an argument, hurt themself, or perhaps made a big mistake.
Assume = Confirm an idea through belief.
Insinuate = Confirm an idea through proof.

@JetRhino Thank you! One more thing that makes me curious. Does this have usually a negative connotation or not?

@destimon I don't believe there are any negative connotations associated with insinuating.
I would also pay attention to the fact that people often replace insinuating with assuming, as they are very similar in meaning.
