2nd part of the wordpress rally. The bulk waited for the right trigger to buy after they wired their cash to mtgox.
Sheeple, herding and such.  That was well expected.

What triggered it, at this point in time? Probably what Mister M. had last breakfast. Smiley

It tends to happen when a lot of funds hit Mt.Gox all at once. (Waiting bids get filled in.)

It's either that... or... a big blue bitcoin monster... Smiley

For people on a cost averaging purchase plan like myself, it's psychologically very difficult to buy on spike days like today.  I hate paying up.

And yet, I look at the trend in news during the past few days: Wordpress, Spain banning cash transactions over €2500, etc.

And I press the buy button.  With urgency.

$12.15, still a bargain.

For someone to buy 36k BTC, then that means some other people sold 36k BTC. The reason for price to rise is buyers out number sellers. A trade for 36k BTC doesn't mean anything, could happen in a crash too.

Weird. Clark Moody did indicate 30K volume from ~11.7 to 12.00.
And 5-6K more up from ~12.00 up to 12.10 some minutes later.

Anyhow. It looks like I was quite wrong. I humbly submit to the data and offer my apology.



What sorcery is this? I don't think I've seen this tool before.
