When I bought my first bitcoins in August of last year there was a very pronounced pattern of significant lulls in price/volume on weekends, presumably because people had a harder time moving money on those days.

Looking at the last month's graph on MtGox I see that price has remained stable through each of the last 4 weekends. Why the change? I suppose this is inevitable as bitcoin gains legitimacy (not entirely fitting but best word I can come up with here) as a currency, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter.

It's not so much that buying pressure goes down as it is volume in general goes down. This thread might be of interest to you:
