Groupon Inc (NASDAQ:GRPN - 5.39), which is backpedaling after running into its 200-day moving average. In afternoon action, the stock has seen around 23,000 puts cross the tape, more than doubling its average intraday volume.

Garnering the most attention has been the March 5 put, which has seen more than 5,300 contracts change hands -- mostly at the ask price, suggesting they were bought. Plus, data from the International Securities Exchange (ISE) is indicative of buy-to-open orders.

By purchasing the pits at a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $0.07, the buyers will profit if GRPN breaches the $4.93 level (strike price minus VWAP) by the closing bell on Friday, March 15, when the front-month options expire. Delta for the puts currently stands at negative 0.25, suggesting the options market is giving the contracts a roughly 1-in-4 chance of being profitable. However, even if GRPN stays north of $5, the most the buyers can lose is the premium paid at initiation.

At last check, GRPN has shed 4.3% to linger in the $5.39 vicinity. Last night, CFO Jason Child said he doesn't expect any changes to the company's business model, despite lackluster fourth-quarter earnings and admittedly unimpressive overseas business. Today, the Groupon board said it expects to fill its open CEO slot within the next three to six months, according to Bloomberg.
