From this graph, you can see something is fishy, no ?

Usually that chart would indicate that some rich guy is trying to sell off his stash a little at a time so he doesn't completely crash the market. After each dip, the demand is so high that it pushes the price back up to where it was before.

However in this case Gox's engine is just screwed up and I would avoid trading on there at all.

It's probably an issue with the gox trade data API. This can't actually be legit, can it?

Why does anyone use gox anymore?
