Not the opposite, but the complementary form, is grabbing.

The opposite of pinching would be spreading, as can be seen when working with torn materials, or such forms as buttonholes : pinching it closes a hole, spreading it opens the hole.
The opposite of a pinching motion (e.g. fingers coming together) would be a "spreading" motion (e.g. fingers moving apart).

A motion close to this anatomically is a flicking motion (fingers together are moved outward.
