Sorry for asking such a basic question but I'm still not sure I fully understand how to read these charts:

For example I took this order book print from Bitstamp 5 minutes ago. Doesn't it mean basically that there is a lot more depth in the bid side compared to the ask side? So isn't that a very bullish signal (more people want to buy than sell)? But I often see similar charts without very bullish comments, which makes me wonder if I'm not understanding some factor here?

It's what you can't see on the order book that you have to consider too. Some whales seem to wait until the bid depth has risen sufficiently, then they dump 2 or 5 or even 10 thousand coins into the bid side. I think that's why some people get nervous when the order book fills up on the bid side like that

Seems like stamp and gox prices are evening out, is it positive or negative in any way? What do you think?

I think a lot of people are using this situation to hop over from MtGox to Bitstamp.

I'm gonna guess that this wall will stand until it is bought.  It just seems so clumsy a giant to me.

Maybe the Gox wall is holding the price down to bring it back into alignment.
