MRVL Daily Chart 4/5(click to enlarge) From a technical perspective, 1) today's rally confirms a multi-month price bottom and a bullish breakout from a falling trendline. 2) Price is also now above the 200-, 100-, and 50-day simple moving averages. 3) The RSI has tagged 70 and is held above 40, suggesting the development of bullish momentum. The daily chart looks like a buy to me with 12 as a conservative target and 13 as a slightly more aggressive but still viable target in the medium-term (looking down a few weeks or couple of months. I am not very convinced of a long-term buy, but the short to medium-term time horizon looks ripe for at least a 15-20% from the 10.50 area. On the other hand, a break below 9.50 could kill the bullish drive, and a break below 9.00 could open up a bearish continuation scenario.
