The spike labelled "A" was the recent Reuters story.  Sure, the spike isn't comparatively huge but traffic didn't fade away immediately over the week.  That's definitely a bullish signal and given that it takes a week or so to get set up with mtgox/dwolla this week looks to be good.

1.  That spike is big... from 50 to 100 is double the search volume and it appears to be settling around 80, which is still up 60%.
2.  Insights is a horrible indicator except as confirmation.  It is delayed several days.
