Implied volatility in Ciena Corp. (Nasdaq:CIEN - news) options shot up to around 120 to 130 percent in heavy trading. Calls were active, with traders unable to explain the activity or the 4-5/8 rise in the stock to 21-13/16.

''Some people might be talking takeover again...but it looks like a dead cat bounce to me,'' a trader said. ''The stock was oversold and people now have cash. It was a 90-dollar stock and now it's 20. People probably figure, why not take a shot?''
