It is indeed confusing. Closing can have huge differences in 4 situations - either big institutions want to acquire / sell an asset in delivery , or someone wants the closing price to be above / below a specific strike price, some last minute news , geopolitical events etc, or some stock has so low liquidity that even a small order causes big changes in closing price.
These are difficult to trade for the average retail trader , especially on expiry. But small investors who trade in delivery can sometimes get better prices in closing if they are lucky.
