Stefan, I don't think that the intraday chart upholds your analysis:
fast.quote.com
Look at the trades between 10:00 AM and 12 noon.
Although the price fell early (on very little volume), the vast majority of the trades were going off at the full ask price (15 3/4). Although others have discounted triple (double?) witching on Friday, LGND has had a tendency to drop just before the expiration of options. As I have said in the past, I consider options another form of legalized gambling.
