IDD. The share price stall may well have nothing to do with the 6m trade late afternoon. Because it would have been impossible to disguise because of the legislation in place to prevent market manipulation of this kind. The brokers may have had instructions to deal at best price, but the Market Makers may have been alerted but would not have been aware of whether a Buy/Sell execution until the last moment, so they could not have manipulated the market without London Stock Exchange and or FSA intervention..
