Imagine a scenario: 80% of retail open interest is piled into weekly call options expiring on a Friday. The institutions know this. They do not just let the stock sit still. Instead, they orchestrate a violent, short-lived pin . They drive the price up $2 to lure in the final buyers, then drive it down $3, creating a range of chaos. By Thursday, the stock closes exactly at the strike price where most of those calls expire worthless.
