How?

The marker makers would want to depress the stock price in order to render the near-money calls worthless. There is far more $$$ exposure there than in the shares, if the open interests are sufficiently large.

BTW, we won't know for sure whether the options traded are BUYS or SELLS until the next day. The pros who monitor the details may be able to guess from the bid/ask and actual transaction prices.

Hope this helps - kind of simplistic.
