Can someone explain the large Bid Ask imbalance - I mean it is easy to see but with so many bids (support?) right below the price and so few sells above the current price, shouldn't we be going up?
I've noticed it slowly had been building the last 2 or 3 days (as we went down.)

Bids are piling up, but price is slowly goes down, which means that more bids are sold into that asks bought. What buyers are doing is slowly moving their bids lower and lower while sellers sell.
There's no rush to buy.

The market rate has been steadily narrowing between MtGox and BitStamp over the past few weeks.
The current difference is <1%.
This seems to indicate there's not much movement of capital between the two exchanges as it costs at least 2% to rotate capital between these two exchanges.

It takes time to rotate cash, Bitcoins on the other hand...
One week ago the difference was >$4 for several hours. I bought ~50BTC $104 at Bitstamp when it was $108@Mtgox.
But I guess these opportunities will get fewer as the arbitrators learns their lessons...

Super weird. I snagged 5 BTC at 95.19 on Bitstamp this morning - when the price doesn't appear to have dipped that low? Anyone ever seen this?

It dropped to 95 very shortly on Bitstamp about 12 hours ago. Consider yourself lucky.
Cheers - wasn't sure about the date stamp.

Technically, we could as well:
- stay around $0.1 for any time up till months
- retest 0.078
- go to any lower number if a downtrend commences.
Fundamentally, going to "any lower number" is impossible (people use bitcoins, and usage is up, so price cannot go down for long).
In the links of my sig, I have developed 2 interesting concepts, feel free to look!

Normally you only see this bid/ask pattern during panic sell offs with large volumes, the ask side looks very thin then because it doesn't have time to build up during a panic sell off. This also creates the big bounces up from the bottom because once people start buying again there's little resistance upwards. The weird thing is that now we've been sitting long enough around this price for the ask side to be building up, but it stays very thin which I find very suspicious. I don't know what to make of it.
Thanks for the information. Something (obvious) that just came to me is of course we aren't seeing the orders go in live at the current price or there abouts. The Market depth is just placed bid asks, and doesn't really reflect (fully) what people are doing in that moment (e.g. market orders). So, we still can have a huge sell off if sellers come in, and vice versa if the pattern were reversed and we had enough buyers...

I've been wondering the same thing. Hopefully it's a symptom of an upcoming rally
