Most active is the weekly 6/5 15.50-strike call, which is seeing buy-to-open activity -- as speculators bank on MRVL toppling $15.50 by the close on Friday, June 6, when the series expires.

On the charts, Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:MRVL) has had a rough go of it in recent months, and hasn't seen the north side of $15.50 since late March. Moreover, since touching a three-year high of $16.78 in late February, the stock has tumbled 15.4%, last seen flirting with $14.20.
