Mt.Gox was under DDOS that time, people couldn't panic. Although that means next selloff will be huge.

I noticed that too.

I think it's Pavlovian.  People were trying to front run the next dump - and got played.

There's some good traders in bitcoin.

Yeap, hackers are trying to cause panic in order to sell high and buy low

That is where all the panic flash crashes have occurred. A quick crash has followed every big price jump.

I would say that someone photoshopped those black arrows. I do not think it is part of the original chart.

Good enough explanation?

Simple, the 1st 3 events, people panic and sold/bought in 10 minutes, hence the high volume.  Last sold/buy occurred slowly over a few hours, no real panic, so the volume is there, but much more spread out.  If you take the "energy" of the first 3 spikes, and compare to the 4th sell/buy over larger time period, I'm sure you get the same...  :)

Yes that makes sense. But it still doesn't explain why it took so long this time.

If there was any real meaning to a trend. The trading volume may have simply got split between two hour bars. Just add up the two red bars below where your arrow is pointing. Consider that the prior volume spikes were decreasing in size over time. They add up to about the volume one might have expected if the trend was thought to be significant or meaningful.
