Yesterday I was watching McDonald's real close. It's the day before triple witching, in the middle of the trading day (Thursday). The price is going above and below $210...Back and forth, up and down. I get that part. At one point the trading stopped (again a very highly trade stock). The bid/ask is $209.99/$210.01...And it's just sitting there...Like a rock. It's like gunfighters are ready to draw...Waiting for someone to make the first move. Silence...Waiting...No moves. Finally a move (don't remember which way) and everything was back to normal.
What do you think was happening here and what cause this showdown??
