Sorry, but the volume which I reported in previous post is not the volume in BTC but the number of total transactions.

But! Bitcoin charts just synced the data from mtgox and according to their stats today's volume is already 202,455.548 BTC or 3,356,833.05 USD which is even more impressive than what I reported earlier.

Is BTC trading (economy?) really kicking off now. We have really high trading volumes, plus volatile market as can be seen on "other" forex exchanges sometimes.

According to https://mtgox.com/code/data/ticker.php:

{"ticker":{"high":24.99,"low":10.25,"vol":161660,"buy":20.94,"sell":21,"last":20.94}}

Last trade was at 20.94$. But the cumulative volume for today was 161660 BTC which is impressive!

Also last trade from http://mtgox.com/code/data/getTrades.php was:

{"date":1307912004,"price":20.67,"amount":18.077,"tid":"168730"}

php -r 'date_default_timezone_set("UTC");echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", 1307912004)."\n";'
2011-06-12 20:53:24

So, 2011-06-12 20:53:24 UTC, 18.077 traded for 20.67$

API is your friend because most of the charts/market watchers are late due to really high number of trades and volume today.
