Roughly $7.3 million of call buying turned up in two semiconductor names on a red Monday, and both buyers need a very particular week. One is tied to Marvell, which reports Thursday, the day after Nvidia. The other is a broader bet that the memory selloff stops here.
The catch is the calendar. These are short dated calls, so the buyer has to get through Nvidia, then Marvell, then Jackson Hole, and still have the move land in time. Both stocks sit a long way below their highs, which is part of the rebound argument.
