If people are buying, they can't buy for less than sellers are offering. No surprise then if it's open, that it will pull up to where sellers are set to sell. See also http://bitcoinity.org/markets/mtgox/USD

in an interview the CEO described their fix and how they are being pro-active about trying to get other exchanges to apply the same fix. So it seems BTC transfers out will be enabled again soon which means people will be exchanging their fiat for BTC in preparation for transferring out. The price might skyrocket over $1000 under heavy demand so the current spike is people trying to get in early.
