That seems to be true. Have noticed stocks that are near max pain a few days before expiration seem to get 'trapped' at that price.
However, I have also noticed some major price declines within days of expiration to pin the stock at the max pain.

Have not really seen situations in the past few months where they push the stocks higher to a certain strike price.

For example MSFT needs to get to 65; just can't see it happening; AMAT, you never know since it was just a one day pop.
