More on Options

Even though there may be only a few million shares traded because of options expiration, these trades are all in one direction - towards the equilibrium strike price. The 20 million or so of other trades are random in nature and may tend to cancel each other out. You must've seen many situations where a single large seller can substantially depress a stock price. The directed effect of a small percentage may be larger than the random behavior of the majority.
Good Luck
