The Mt. Gox Incident

[bitfreak!]

I thought this was an interesting graph worth sharing. Don't flame me if this is really basic/boring stuff, I'm far from an economist or market analyst.  It's just a fairly simple mtgoxUSD/BTC graph showing price and volume for the period between June 16th and July 5th, with a clarity of about 8 points per day. There is also a missing gap of information between June 18th and June 26th. The location of my mouse indicates the last log before the crash. Their API actually changed around the time of the crash, breaking many scripts. I'm not sure if it was the crash or their API change which broke my script first.



edit: because I'm feeling nice, here is the live version (constantly updated): http://bitscape.co.cc/index.php?page=charts&cc=BTC

Please elaborate. I warned it was nothing special.
If you find boring why post one word.

What did you find interesting about it?

What are the implications that it illuminates?

I'm not saying it implicates or illuminates anything. Does it?

edit - the reason I found it interesting was simply because it allows us to visualize the Mt. Gox crash and how the market reacted. As I said, nothing ground breaking, but perhaps interesting/useful for a few.

Then it seems it has about as much value as my original question.
